The Dr. Jan Astin Mobile Digital Mammography Van travels throughout southeastern New Jersey to make breast cancer screening easier and more convenient. They provide diagnostic screening for women 40 years and older, free of charge. If women have insurance, they will take what the insurance pays. A prescription is encouraged, but not necessary. Appointments are encouraged by calling their scheduling department at 609-677-9729, but walk-ins are welcome.
The custom-built, 38-foot van is completely self-contained. In addition to offering the latest digital mammography equipment, the van provides a comfortable waiting area and a private dressing room. The mobile van’s radiology services are accredited by the American College of Radiology and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Mammography images are read by board-certified fellowship trained radiologists at Atlantic Medical Imaging.
