Recently, 3 crates, 2 pallets and several boxes arrived at Prince County Hospital. Inside those boxes were the hopes and dreams of a brighter future. The much touted Digital Mammography Unit has arrived and the future has become the present. For much of 2008 we talked about the difference this piece of technology will make for Island women. Now it is time to make those dreams a reality. Our caring communities, the PEI Government, and the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation all pitched in to ensure that patients at PCH have access to the best breast cancer screening equipment. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, in late April the new mammography unit was operational and screening began.
