Mobile Mammography Unit Successfully Serves North Bay Village Residents

North Bay Village is proud to announce the successful completion of a mobile mammography screening initiative that brought essential healthcare services directly to residents. The program provided convenient access to potentially life-saving breast cancer screenings for nearly 30 women in the community.

This innovative approach eliminated common barriers to preventive care, including transportation challenges and scheduling difficulties that often prevent women from receiving regular mammograms.

The American Cancer Society recommends that women ages 45-54 get mammograms every year, and women 55 and older can switch to mammograms every two years or continue yearly screening. Early detection through regular mammography screening significantly improves treatment outcomes and survival rates for breast cancer, which affects approximately 1 in 8 women during their lifetime.

The mobile unit provided full-service digital mammography in a comfortable, private setting right next to Village Hall. Qualified technicians conducted the screenings using state-of-the-art equipment, ensuring residents received the same high-quality care they would receive at a traditional medical facility. Thank you to Commissioner Richard Chervony for spearheading this initiative.
