Why is mobile screening smart?
Statistics
have shown that breast cancer death rates could have been reduced by
95% if detected at an earlier stage. Two of the biggest barriers
to preventive healthcare are time and convenience. Bringing the mobile
program to a work place or community removes both of those obstacles.
It takes a fraction of the time for an on-site visit compared to
leaving work or home and traveling to an appointment.
When
screening mammograms are included in work site and community wellness
programs, studies show that on-site screenings increase participation 25-30%
over services offered off site.
Mobile
mammography can save a corporation money through reduced absenteeism, increased
productivity, reduced short and long term disability pay, and lower
health insurance premiums. It can also enhance relationships with employees
by showing concern for their well being.
Most
importantly, making screening mammography accessible to women whether
they are your employee or a member
of your community may save a life.
