The Wyoming Department of Health and Susan G. Komen Foundation partnered up with General Electric and Wednesday they unveiled a new mobile mammography screening unit that will help get more women screened and begin saving lives. Nationally 25% of women aren't getting screened for breast cancer, but in Wyoming that percentage rises to 33%. The state is trying to reverse that with a new partnership with the Komen Foundation and GE. The result of this partnership is a mobile unit that will come to you and be able to take mammogram's for women in every part of the state. The GE Mobile Mammography unit will begin operating on August 6th with it's first stop being in Rock Springs.
