PINK POWERHOUSE OF PREVENTIVE CARE

She’s pink. She’s savvy. She’s saving lives everywhere she goes...

The mammo coach travels to communities throughout Lehigh Valley Health Network’s (LVHN) extensive service area, bringing 3D-screening mammogram technology to workplaces, schools and other businesses that host screening events.

DRIVING HOME RESULTS

Preventive cancer screenings – such as mammograms – can save lives. Just last year, the certified mammography technologists who staff the mammo coach provided screening mammograms to more than 2,075 patients from 19 different counties and detected seven breast cancers.

WHAT’S INSIDE?

Inside the mammo coach, you will find a warm, welcoming and high-tech space that includes:

• Private changing rooms and a mammogram area

• A full team of Lehigh Valley Topper Cancer Institute certified and registered mammography technologists

• The latest mammogram technology, including 3D imaging, which helps identify breast cancer earlier, in its most treatable stages

Mammograms done on the mammo coach are read by Lehigh Valley Topper Cancer Institute physicians, and they’ll make sure you and your primary care provider receive screening results in a timely manner. Should there be a need for followup care, Lehigh Valley Topper Cancer Institute offers leading-edge technology and access to the most advanced clinical trials. The Cancer Institute is also a member of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Alliance, which provides patients with lifesaving care options.

PUTTING HEALTH FIRST

Screening mammograms are covered by health insurance, and no prescription is needed for women 40 or older who haven’t had a mammogram in the last 365 days. Also, LVHN’s all-woman team knows that every woman leads a busy life, so on average mammograms on the coach take less than 15 minutes.

HOST THE MAMMO COACH

The mammo coach is always ready for a road trip – and there is no cost to an organization or community partner to host a screening event. To learn how, contact LVHN’s program coordinator at erin. yaworski@lvhn.org.
