Perth Family Health Team partners with hospital for screening

SUBMITTED

In response to high demand, the Perth Family Health Team is partnering the Perth & Smiths Falls District Hospital, the Lanark Leeds and Grenville Health Unit, Lanark County Mental Health, and Andrea Pickett Physiotherapy to offer a women’s health clinic for patients who live within 50 kilometres of Perth, and do not have a primary care provider.

Cervical cancer is almost entirely preventable with regular screening, appropriate and timely follow-up of abnormal results, and HPV immunization. Finding cancer early means it is less likely to spread and there is a better chance of treating it successfully.

The PFHT has collaborated with diagnostic imaging and can offer a mammogram appointment. Getting regular mammograms is important because they can help find cancer early and may lower the risk of dying from breast cancer. 

We are unable to offer scanning to high-risk patients. If you are considered high risk, please reach out to book an appointment with the unattached clinic. If you are unsure if you are high risk, the link to follow will help you decide.

To make an appointment, visit: https://www.cancercareontario.ca/en/guidelines-advice/cancer-continuum/screening/breast-cancer-high-risk

Consider making an appointment if you are:

  • Over the age of 21.
  • A resident of Ontario, living within 50 kilometres of Perth.
  • Currently without a primary care provider. 
  • Due for a PAP test.
  • Considered average risk and due for a mammogram.

The clinic will be held by appointment only on: Thursday, Oct. 31, 2024 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Please call on Thursdays and Fridays between 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. — 613-515-2680 ext. 105.
