From MERCY HEALTH
Mercy Health’s mobile mammography unit has visits scheduled throughout the region in October, including stops in Perrysburg and Maumee.
The mobile mammography unit is customized for patient convenience and will deliver 3D mammograms to those with breasts age 40 and older. It is equipped with the newest 3D technology and offers patients the option of self-compression, meaning the patient will have the ability to control the compression once they are in position.

- Monday, Oct. 12: Mercy Health – Starbright Primary Care, 28555 Starbright Blvd., Perrysburg
- Thursday, Oct. 15: Perrysburg Heights Community Association, 12282 Jefferson St., Perrysburg

While mammogram screenings may be covered by insurance, for best coverage, verify if Mercy Health – St. Charles Hospital is an in-network provider with insurance carriers. If someone is uninsured or underinsured (has high deductibles), Mercy Health has financial need-based assistance programs available to help. If eligible, people may qualify for a no-cost mammogram. Call 1-800-929-6626 for more information.
Screenings at the Mercy Health mobile mammography unit are by appointment only. Call 833-MAMM-VAN to schedule a screening on the mobile unit.

Mercy Health encourages people to talk with their doctors about when they should have a screening mammogram. Screening mammograms are usually a covered benefit with most insurance carriers.
Certified radiologists read all mammograms and because a second look can mean a second chance, Mercy Health double-checks all mammograms with a computer-aided detection system that detects more breast cancer than mammography alone. Patients and their physicians will receive copies of the results.
