Mammovan on the Move: Exam stops planned in Carson City, Douglas and Lyon counties
Nevada Health Centers’ Mammovan will be making stops in Carson City, Gardnerville, Silver Springs and Yerington the week of Dec. 3-7, 2018.
The Mammovan provides mammography services that are accessible and convenient. These screenings are primarily for women age 40 and older; however, screenings will be provided to those younger than 40 that have a physician referral.
Women wanting to take advantage of this valuable service should call (877) 581-6266 to make an appointment for one of the following dates:
— Monday and Tuesday, Dec. 3-4, 8 a.m. to 3:40 p.m. Nevada Health Centers’ Sierra Nevada Health Center 3325, Research Way in Carson City.
— Wednesday, Dec. 5, 9 a.m. to 3:40 p.m., Friends in Service Helping, also known as FISH, Rancho Family Resource Center 921 Mitch Drive, Gardnerville.
— Thursday, Dec. 6, 9 a.m. to 3:40 p.m., Lyon County Senior Center 2945 Fort Churchill Road, Silver Springs.
— Friday, Dec. 7, 9 a.m. to 3:40 p.m., Lyon County Community Health Clinic 26 Nevin Way, Yerington.
NVHC’s mission is to provide access to quality healthcare services throughout Nevada. The organization accepts most insurance plans, Medicaid and Medicare. Those without insurance will not be denied a mammogram.
Nevada Health Centers operates the Mammovan, a mobile mammography van that provides convenient access to mammography services to women. The Mammovan began operations in 2000, and was initially made possible by a grant secured by former Congressman John Ensign and former First Lady of Nevada, Dema Guinn.
