Mobile mammography center coming to Whiteville

WHITEVILLE, NC (WWAY) — A mobile mammography center is rolling into Whiteville the week of October 10th for free screenings.

It is part of the BelkGives on the Go program where a 39 foot long screening center on wheels travels around the southeast.  A spokesperson says over the past two years, they have screened  more than 7400 women and detected 30 cases of cancer.

Officials say the mobile unit will stop at the Belk store in Whiteville at Whites Crossing for free, convenient mammogram screenings. Women age 40 and over with no breast concerns, who have not had a mammogram in the last 12 months and have a primary care physician are eligible by calling 855-655-BMMC (2662) to schedule an appointment between 9:30am and 7pm on October 11th.

All screening exams are performed by Charlotte Radiology’s licensed, female mammography-certified technologists.  A board-certified radiologist, specialized in breast imaging will interpret the mammogram. Confidential results will be sent to the patient and her primary care physician.
