The St. Barnabas Mobile Mammography program
brings vital women’s health outreach, information and screening
to women in the Bronx. St. Barnabas offers the only Mobile
Mammography Van unit that is Bronx-based and Bronx-dedicated.
Mobile Mammography services, including printed materials, are
available in English and Spanish.
The St. Barnabas Mobile Mammography program
provides women of the Bronx with comprehensive, quality healthy
breast education, clinical breast examinations, mammography and
follow-up diagnostic services by reaching out to the community
on the Mobile Mammography Van. Staffed by a physician’s
assistant and peer educators, the van makes scheduled trips to
neighborhoods and events organized by
community-based local civic organizations, senior centers,
women’s groups, houses of worship, and other public and private
agencies.
From 2005 to 2006, more than 2500 women received
breast cancer screenings and education from the St. Barnabas
Mobile Mammography Program.
For more information, or to arrange for the St.
Barnabas Mobile Mammography Van to visit an upcoming community
event, call 718-960-3931 or 917-913-8975.
