The Ontario Breast Screening Program mobile coach is on the road again making the rounds of Northwestern Ontario.

From April to October the coach visits 30 communities from Wawa to the Manitoba border and north to Red Lake.

Spokesperson Laurie Delave-dova says they've booked all of their Spring appointments.

"People who have been with our program know were coming back," says Delave-Dova, "and they have gotten a letter from us that says 'hey, it's time for you to have your mammogram, again,' so they've called and booked their appointment. So there's probably not any appointments available unless we have a cancellation."

Delave-Dova adds women 50 and older can book mammograms for their summer and fall visits by calling  1-800-461-7031.
