UC Health Mobile
Mammography Van to visit YMCA
On Wednesday, Jan. 24 from 9 a.m.-2 p.m., the UC Health Mobile Mammography
Van will visit the Highland County Family YMCA, 201 Diamond Drive,
Hillsboro. Mammograms can detect abnormalities in breast tissue before more obvious
symptoms are present, and they remain the most reliable screening method for
early detection of breast cancer. As the region's only triple-accredited
breast cancer center, UC Health's highly experienced, board-certified team
of experts provide the same quality of care via the mammography van as in an
office environment. Call now to schedule an appointment: 513-584-PINK (7465). To find a mobile
mammography appointment in a community near you, please visit
