NORFOLK, Va. — As the Sentara Brock Cancer Center team celebrates five years of providing cancer care across Hampton Roads' neighborhoods, they're also welcoming a reinforcement that will help them reach more patients.
The center introduced its second 3D mobile mammography van to its fleet on Thursday. This new addition will serve the Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Virginia Beach areas, providing 2,000 mammography screenings to individuals.
The "Mobile Mammo Vans" are part of the center's broader effort, as its team currently serves over 900 patients a day. The second mobile mammography van is part of Sentara’s campaign to raise $1 million for two additional vans to further expand their reach.
Sentara says the vans help them reach people who may not have the time or access to get mammography services.
