Mobile Mammography Screening Coming to Kearney

As part of its ongoing commitment to community service, Platte-Clay Electric Cooperative (PCEC) will host a local mobile mammography screening at its Kearney headquarters at 1000 W. State Road 92 in Kearney on Thursday, June 18, from 9 am to 5 pm. Testing will be provided by Diagnostic Imaging Centers, P.A.

Appointments are encouraged, and residents can schedule by calling (913) 344-9989. When booking, callers should note that the appointment is for the mobile coach on June 18. Walk-ins will also be welcome, and organizers say those who do not schedule ahead of time are encouraged to stop by in case space is available.

Women ages 35 to 39 are eligible for a baseline screening mammogram, though they are encouraged to check with their insurance provider in advance regarding plan eligibility and coverage. Women age 40 and older do not need a physician’s order; however, for insurance coverage purposes, their most recent screening mammogram should have been completed at least 12 months before the current exam. Those scheduling earlier than 12 months should confirm coverage with their insurer.

Patients should bring a photo ID, insurance card, and the name of their primary care physician. On the day of the appointment, participants are asked not to wear deodorant, lotion, or perfume from the waist up, and to wear a two-piece outfit to avoid fully disrobing during the screening.

The event is intended to make preventive breast health services more accessible to local residents and provide a convenient screening option close to home.
