This October, to mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Ozarks Healthcare (OZH) Mobile Mammography Unit will hit the road and include stops at four West Plains Bank and Trust Company locations. Appointments are required to receive mammography services and may be scheduled by calling the OZH Mammography Department at 417-257-5912. However, say officials, the public is invited to stop by to view the unit.
The unit will be parked at West Plains Bank and Trust Company Liberty Branch in Mtn. View, North Branch in West Plains, Willow Springs Branch and Houston Branch through the month of October.

“Early detection saves lives, and the mobility of this unit allows caregivers to meet patients where they are,” said West Plains Bank and Trust Company President/CEO David M. Gohn. “We feel strongly that this service is needed and chose to support it because it will greatly increase access to regular screenings. Beyond our own donation, we have enjoyed partnering with Lady Zizzer Basketball in fundraising for this unit. It is our pleasure to host it during Breast Cancer Awareness Month at our locations.”
