Mobile Mammography

ROME, Ga., Oct. 15, 2025 – Atrium Health Floyd + Harbin Clinic, the region’s breast health experts, are urging women who have put off getting a mammogram to schedule the lifesaving screening during October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The National Comprehensive Cancer Network recommends that women should begin scheduling a screening mammogram annually when they turn 40. A screening mammogram, which delivers a low dose of radiation, remains the best tool in the early detection of breast cancer, designed for women who are showing no symptoms.

Screening mammograms are available at The Breast Center at Atrium Health Floyd, Atrium Health Floyd Polk Medical Center, Women’s Imaging Suite at Atrium Health Floyd Cherokee Medical Center, Harbin Clinic and Atrium Health Floyd Northwest Georgia Medical Clinic OB/GYN.

If time and travel and an issue for you, The Breast Center also operates a Mobile Mammography Coach equipped with state-of-the-art, digital mammography equipment that serves women in northwest Georgia and northeast Alabama.

The mobile coach is staffed by clinicians who are specially trained in screening mammography. The coach offers a unique advantage for those who need a mammogram but want to minimize lost work time because of travel requirements.

Atrium Health Floyd’s Mobile Mammography Coach is traveling to multiple locations this month, including:

Oct 17 – Atrium Health Floyd Medical Center, 5 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Oct 17 - Harbin Clinic (Main), 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
