Marshfield Clinic offers mobile mammography screenings
Marshfield Clinic’s Mobile Screening Unit delivers state-of-the-art breast cancer and bone density screenings monthly to rural Wisconsin residents who otherwise would not have easy access to the services.

During one-on-one mammography screening, licensed and certified female technicians from Marshfield Clinic conduct a thorough medical history, answer questions and perform an exam.
Screening is open to anyone, but advance appointments are required.
For patients with health insurance or Medicare, the mammogram costs will be billed to their health insurance provider. For financial assistance for a screening mammogram, call the Marshfield Clinic Patient Assistance staff at (715) 389-4475 to determine eligibility.
These screenings are made possible by a grant from Furniture & Appliance Mart and the Fonti family.
