Free Mobile Mammography Services Return To Central New York

Thanks to Upstate University Hospital’s mobile mammography van, women all across Central New York will have easier access to life-saving breast cancer screenings this spring and summer.

This “clinic on wheels” will make stops at different locations now through August, bringing mammogram services directly into local communities.

Since its launch in June 2019, the mobile mammography program has screened nearly 4,800 women and diagnosed 20 cases of breast cancer, making it a critical tool in the fight against the second leading cause of cancer death among women in New York State.

What to Expect from the Upstate Mammo Van

The mobile unit is a fully equipped medical space with:

• A reception area

• A private changing room

• A nursing exam room

• A state-of-the-art imaging suite

Radiologists at Upstate University Hospital examine each mammogram and deliver results within two weeks via Upstate MyChart or by mail within 30 days.

For women with a doctor’s prescription, the entire process takes less than 30 minutes. Those without one will first receive a nurse-administered breast exam, then a referral.

• Women age 40 or older

• Insured or uninsured

• With or without a doctor’s prescription
