A mobile cancer screening coach is coming to Port Colborne and Fort Erie.
Since July the Hamilton Niagara Haldimand Brant Regional Mobile Cancer Screening Coach has been offering screening in St. Catharines to increase cancer screening rates.
The coach will bring breast, cervical, and colon cancer screening for a full day each month to Port Colborne and Fort Erie.
The Coach will visit Port Colborne on the first Wednesday of each month beginning on November 7th, and visit Fort Erie on the second Tuesday of each month beginning November 13rd.
Chief of Diagnostic Imaging at Niagara Health and Provincial Head for the Cancer Imaging Program at Cancer Care Ontario Dr. Julian Dobranowski say, "Screening is a very effective tool for detecting cancer early and improving outcomes for patients. Having these new screening opportunities available for members of our communities complements our local services and reaches even more people."
