The Alberta Cancer Foundation has introduced two new mobile units equipped with advanced mammography technology to enhance breast cancer screening in rural and Indigenous communities across Alberta. These units replace outdated trailers and are part of an effort to improve early cancer detection and accessibility of health services. The initiative is supported by the Alberta Cancer Foundation, in collaboration with the Grande Prairie Regional Health Foundation and Northern Lights Health Foundation. Managed by Screen Test, a provincial service, these units aim to increase the number of women receiving regular screenings, thereby improving survival rates by detecting cancer early.
