Inside Saskatchewan's new mobile mammography trailer

Saskatchewan has taken a meaningful step forward in equitable cancer care, with two mobile mammography trailers now in service across the province. Each year, 42 communities will be visited, bringing safe and accessible breast cancer screening directly to people where they live.

Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer among Canadian women. When caught through screening, approximately 75 per cent of cases are identified at an early stage, opening the door to more treatment options and better outcomes. Getting screened close to home removes barriers that too often stand between people and the care they need, reflecting a commitment to compassion, equity, and safety in how health services are delivered.

Residents do not need a referral to access screening. Appointments can be booked by calling 1-855-584-8228.

This initiative was made possible through the support of the Government of Saskatchewan, the Cancer Foundation of Saskatchewan, and the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency, whose collaboration helped get these units on the road.
