January 12, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

BreastScreen Queensland\u2019s state-of-the-art digital mobile service visit to Kingaroy Hospital has been extended to February 5.<\/p>\n

The service was originally scheduled to leave town on January 29 but due to high demand for free screenings it will remain onsite for an extra week.<\/p>\n

“It is wonderful to see that the service has been so popular with local women,” Health Promotion Officer Shenaed Bliss said.<\/p>\n

“It was decided to accommodate these women by extending our stay for an additional week.”<\/p>\n

Ms Bliss said the mobile service visited rural locations every two years, offering free breast screens to women aged 40 years and over.<\/p>\n

“This is a great opportunity for eligible women in Kingaroy and the surrounding areas to have either their first breast screen or to come in for their regular two-yearly screen,” Shenaed said.<\/p>\n

“We know that early detection of women\u2019s cancers provides the best chance of survival and quality of life, so if you haven’t been keeping up-to-date with these important checks, now is the time to do so.”<\/p>\n

A doctor\u2019s referral is not needed to book a breast screen through the mobile service.<\/p>\n

Appointments can be made by calling 13-20-50.<\/p>\n

“Having a breast screen is a quick and easy, and usually doesn’t take any longer than 30 minutes,” Shenaed said.<\/p>\n

“With the start of a New Year, now is the right time to make your health a priority in 2016.”<\/p>\n

Access to the BreastScreen Queensland Mobile Service at Kingaroy Hospital is via Albert Street.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
