West Virginia University says a mobile mammography center will visit Berkeley and Morgan counties this month.

The vehicle, known as Bonnie’s Bus, offers digital mammograms and breast care education for women. It’s provided by WVU Medicine and the WVU Cancer Institute.

The bus will be at Berkeley Senior Services in Martinsburg from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. May 12. Call (304) 263-8873 for an appointment.

The bus will be at CNB Bank in Berkeley Springs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. May 13. Call (304) 596-5114 for an appointment.

A physician’s order is needed for a mammogram.

No woman over 40 will be turned away because of lack of funding. Women without insurance are covered by the West Virginia Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Program or the West Virginia affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
