NOTE: “We know that getting a screening can be tough to schedule when you’re juggling work and family schedules,” said Danielle Atterberry, director of radiology at Boone Health. “We felt that offering an opportunity to do this on a Saturday might help with that challenge. Additionally, partnering with our colleagues from Boone Health’s Community Wellness team gives us one more opportunity to offer some free screenings for skin cancer and heart health on the same day.”
