Breast Screening Program Reaches 20


The Northwest Regional Cancer Centre is celebrating a milestone.

It's operated the Breast Screening Program in Northwestern Ontario for the past twenty years.

Cancer Care Director Alison McMullen says over 32 thousand women have been given mammograms, but more needs to be done.

The program is offered at five satellite sites across the region, including at Riverside Health Care Facilities in Fort Frances.
