Mount Sinai offers a mobile mammography program that brings diagnostic technology to all five boroughs of New York City. Our goal is to help all women 40 and over get annual screening mammograms.
We want to catch breast cancer as early as possible, when it can be most easily treated. Talk with your health care provider and schedule your mammography at one of our convenient locations or through our mobile mammography service.
