3D Mobile Mammography Van Delivers Care to Rural Missouri

The Breast HealthCare Center's Mobile Mammography van brings routine screening mammography services to neighborhoods across St. Louis and towns in rural Missouri. The van features 3D mammogram testing which is the latest technology in mammography. Each exam takes less than 15 minutes. Films are examined by our board-certified radiologists and reviewed again with a computer-aided detection system. The results are reported to you and your physician.

The van is accredited by American College of Radiology, and is Medicare- and FDA-approved.

* Please note that our Mammography Van is not wheel-chair-accessible. If you have special needs, please let us know and we will make arrangements to accommodate you at one of our other locations.

Please check with your insurance provider to verify coverage for your screening, and determine if written authorization from your primary care physician is needed. For those who are insured by participating insurance plans and Medicare, we will file your claim for you. Please bring your insurance card with you to your appointment.

Through generous grants from Show Me Healthy Women, the Breast HealthCare Center at Missouri Baptist Medical Center offers free mammogram screenings and breast health awareness and education to qualified women in need. To see if you qualify for a free mammogram, call Theresa at 314-956-9829.
