In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, Mayo Clinic Health System in Fairmont is holding a Saturday Screening event on Saturday, Oct. 12, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Mammogram appointments will be available during that time to offer convenient opportunities to get annual screenings completed. The average appointment takes 20 minutes. Appointments are open to patients, staff and community members.
Mammograms are X-ray images of breasts and play a key role in early breast cancer detection. Early detection often means better outcomes for patients.
Appointments must be made in advance by calling 507-238-8184.
