SUPPORTING BREAST HEALTH: MCA JOINS CCH MAMMOGRAM DAY

The Mohawk Council of Akwesasne’s Community Health Services (CHS) will be participating in Mammogram Day at the Cornwall Community Hospital (CCH) on June 18, 2026. Mammogram Day is a partnership with Cornwall Community Hospital, Cancer Care Ontario, and MCA’s Primary Care Services and Community Health Services.

The Ontario Breast Screening Program is a province-wide screening program that aims to reduce breast cancer deaths through regular screening. The program offers screening to two different groups of people who qualify for breast cancer screening:

• People ages 40 to 74 at average risk for breast cancer
• People ages 30 to 69 at high risk for breast cancer

Community members can contact the Akwesasne Medical Clinic (AMC) to pre-register for their mammogram by calling 613-575-2341 ext. 3215. AMC staff will provide you with your appointment time at CCH when calling and pre-registering.

Deadline to pre-register for Mammogram Day is Tuesday, June 16. Pre-registration is required.

For more information, please call MCA Community Health Services at 613-575-2341 ext. 3220 or Primary Care Services at 613-575-2341 ext. 3247.
