Take Action. Get Your Mammogram!
In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, North York General Hospital (NYGH) is excited to once again participate in Mammothon – a breast screening marathon targeting women aged 50 to 74 who are overdue for or have never had a mammogram. NYGH’s two imaging sites are joining several Ontario Breast Screening Program locations to screen as many women as possible for breast cancer.
To participate, you must be an Ontario resident with no history of breast cancer. People who have not had their mammogram within the last two years are encouraged to get up to date by participating in Mammothon!
The dates and times for Mammothon at NYGH’s imaging sites are:
October 3, from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the NYGH General site (4001 Leslie, BMO Breast Diagnostic Clinic, 1st Flr)
October 4, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the NYGH Outpatient and Community Services Centre (2 Champagne Drive, Unit E7)
October 5 from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the NYGH General site (4001 Leslie, BMO Breast Diagnostic Clinic, 1st Flr)
Walk-in or book an appointment by calling 416-756-6931. No doctor referral is required.
