“This mobile mammography van will improve access to healthcare for many in our community by delivering care closer to where a patient lives or works,” said John Plemmons, MD, medical director at the McLeskey Comprehensive Breast Center at the Sentara Brock Cancer Center in Norfolk, in a Feb. 10 health system news release. “Not only is it more convenient for our patients, but it will undoubtedly save lives.”
