Amador County - Women can conveniently receive mammography screening at the Jackson Safeway store on August 7 through an innovative partnership between Catholic Healthcare West-St. Joseph’s Medical Center and the Safeway Foundation. The screenings are available by appointment to any women with a physician’s referral and target underserved women. The Safeway Foundation is proud to continue its partnership with St. Joseph’s by renewing its $500,000 grant to continue the valuable services provided by the Mobile Mammography Unit. St. Joseph's Mobile Mammography Unit (MMU) is a full-service, self-contained mammography clinic on wheels featuring the latest in state-of-the-art digital mammography technology and service. Improved breast cancer treatments and increased awareness resulting in early detection are the two leading factors identified for decreasing the number of deaths from breast cancer in the United States. Grants from the Safeway Foundation and other groups across the U.S. have made great strides in raising funds to support research and awareness of this deadly disease. The Safeway Foundation - through Safeway’s Northern California Division - is proud to share in this effort and awarded $2.8 million dollars in 2009 alone to organizations fighting breast cancer. “Together with our employees and customers, the Safeway Foundation is making a significant impact by funding programs focused on finding a cure for and raising awareness of this disease,”said Karl Schroeder, President, Northern California Division of Safeway. The full-service mammography clinic, housed in an 18-wheel tractor-trailer, is licensed by the state of California and accredited by the American College of Radiology and the Food and Drug Administration. It meets all requirements for performing screening mammography. The digital images from all screenings are read by licensed radiologists, with results sent to patients and their physicians within two to three weeks of their exams. The screening takes place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on August 7 at the Safeway located at 12110 Industry Blvd in Jackson. This email address is being protected from spambots.
