How You Can Help
Site Coordinator Information
As a site coordinator, you will work with the Mobile Mammography coordinator and carry out the following responsibilities:
Arrange for a suitable location. The Mobile Mammography van must be parked on a paved, level area. The van is 38 feet long and requires 14-foot width and height clearance. Sharp turns in narrow areas cannot be made in this van. Low tree branches in the parking area should be avoided. Restrooms are not available on the mobile van. The parking site should be near restrooms for use by clients and staff.
Publicize the program by distributing posters and flyers provided by M. D. Anderson, and other communication channels. Be sure to include information about eligibility criteria and the reasons for them.
Answer or refer questions about the screening.
Ensure that a minimum of 25 women are signed up no fewer than 10 days before the screening date. The maximum number that can be done in one day is 32.
Assist in following up with women whose mammograms are abnormal.
