Arranging a site visit is easy. Choose a site coordinator who will work with our staff to ensure that the screenings go smoothly.  Please review the site visit guidelines below. If your location meets these guidelines:

• Call the Program Coordinator at 713-792-2703, or
• Call the scheduling line at 713-745-4000

Participation Guidelines

A mobile visit requires 17 patients. Walk-ins are not accepted. Your site coordinator will be responsible for the following:

• Schedule a site visit three months prior to scheduled date
• Secure an event permit or a meter bagging permit from the City of Houston if required. This should be done in advance of the screening date.
• Publicize the program 60-90 days prior to the scheduled date. Be sure to include information about eligibility criteria and the reasons for them.
• Make sure 17 women are signed up at least 10 business days before the screening date in order to avoid cancellation.

Location Guidelines

• The Mobile Mammography van must be parked on a paved, level area.
• All four vans require a 9-foot width and 14-foot height clearance and range from 38 feet to 45 feet long. Sharp turns in narrow areas cannot be made.
• The parking site should not have low tree branches.
• The parking site should be near restrooms. There are no restrooms on the unit.
• We do not book the unit for health fairs, as it is not effective in that setting.
