Mobile Mammography Coach Coming to Kearney

Women in the Kearney area will have a convenient opportunity to receive a mammogram when the Mobile Mammography Coach visits Platte-Clay Electric Cooperative on Wednesday, June 11, from 9 am to 5 pm. The event will take place at 1000 West State Route 92 in Kearney.

Appointments are now being scheduled by calling 913-344-9989. Be sure to mention that the appointment is for the mobile coach on June 11. Walk-ins are also welcome.

Women aged 35 to 39 are eligible for a baseline screening mammogram but should check with their insurance provider for coverage details. For those under 40, insurance generally requires that at least 12 months have passed since the last mammogram. Women 40 and older do not need a doctor's order for a screening.

On the day of your screening, please avoid wearing deodorant, lotion, or perfume above the waist and wear a two-piece outfit for convenience.

All patients should bring a photo ID, insurance card, and the name of their primary care physician. Forms, including the Breast Imaging Form and Medical Records Release Form, must be completed and presented at the time of the appointment.
