New Mammography Unit Up and Running in GF-W

A new mammography unit is now up and running at the hospital in Grand Falls-Windsor.

Heath Minister Joedy Wall took a tour of the unit, which officially began operations last month, on Friday.

The expansion of services will mean more patients will be able to undergo breast screening services which are now available at six separate sites in the province.

Women between the ages of 40 and 74, and who have no symptoms, can self-refer for breast screening anywhere in the province through MyHealthNL or by calling the Breast Screening Program at 1-800-414-3443.
