Mobile mammography service to visit Taber

Jun 19, 2026 | 4:23 PM

Officials with Primary Care Alberta say the Screen Test program will be in Taber in July to provide screening mammograms to eligible individuals aged 45 to 74.

The agency notes, a mobile mammography trailer will be at the Taber Heritage Inn & Conference Centre, located at 4830 46 Avenue, on July 11 and July 13-15.

Screening is available at no cost for eligible individuals, but appointments are required. Call 1-800-667-0604 to book an appointment or learn more about the program. 

A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast, and according to health officials, screening mammograms are the best way to find breast cancer early when treatment may work better. They say getting screened for breast cancer saves lives.

Primary Care Alberta says Screen Test is improving access to cancer screening for thousands of individuals in Alberta communities where mammograms are not readily available. 

In addition to mobile mammography clinics, the agency notes that screening can also be performed at specific radiology clinics and some hospitals. Officials say individuals aged 45 to 74 can discuss their breast cancer risk with their healthcare providers to determine whether screening is appropriate for them and book with a radiology clinic or with Screen Test mobile mammography.
