According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths among U.S. women. Early detection of breast cancer is the key to saving lives.

To encourage women to get screened, women in Denver Health's service areas have easy and convenient access to breast examinations through our mobile mammography van.

This fully equipped bus serves as a free-standing clinic as it travels among our nine family health centers offering mammograms, pap smears, pelvic examinations and breast screening exams.

Funding for the mammovan is provided by The Avon Foundation, Denver Community Health Services, in partnership with the University of Colorado Cancer Center, the Latino/a Research and Policy Center and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. The mammovan is accredited by the American College of Radiology.
