Nassau University Medical Center: Mobile mammography van rolling out into communities – LI Herald

Nassau University Medical Center recently unveiled a new, state-of-the-art mammography van outside the hospital’s main entrance, allowing hospital staff, breast cancer organizations and county officials to take a close look at the vehicle that will provide lifesaving scans to women across Nassau County.

Plans for the new mobile breast cancer-screening unit were first announced in October, with hospital administrators stating that the goal was to have the van on the road by May. The new vehicle — dubbed the “MammoVan” — will greatly enhance the standard of care being offered to patients, replacing the hospital’s previous mammography van, which had been in use since 2002.
