New mammography unit in service in Grand Falls-Windsor

It was announced on Friday that a new mammography unit is now operational at the Central Newfoundland Regional Health Centre in Grand Falls-Windsor. 

The new unit went into service earlier this week and allows for an increase in screening capacity, expanded appointment availability, and improved access to breast screening services for residents throughout Central Newfoundland. 

Breast screening services are available at six locations across the province: Corner Brook, Gander, Grand Falls-Windsor, Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador West, and St. John’s.

Women between the ages of 40 and 74 who have no symptoms of breast cancer can self-refer for breast screening anywhere in the province.
