Mobile mammogram unit scheduled in Colleyville on March 12
In conjunction with Texas Health Resources, the city will host mammography screenings
on Wednesday, March 12, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The program's mobile health unit
will be located in the south parking lot of Colleyville City Hall at 100 Main Street. The
event is open to all community members; however, appointments are required and must
be made by calling 1.855.318.7696.
The appointment line is open Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The screening
will last approximately 15 to 20 minutes. It will include a four-view screening
mammogram and breast health education. Films are read by a board certified radiologist
and the results are sent to the client and a physician designated by that client, so
be prepared to provide a physician's name, address, and phone and fax numbers.
Patients should be women age 40 and over (patients 35 to 39 may receive a baseline
screening), have no breast implants nor current symptoms of breast disease, have no
personal history of breast cancer, should not be pregnant or actively nursing, and have
not had a mammogram in the past 12 months. As it is part of Texas Health Resources,
the mobile unit will accept most insurance carriers. The coverage (co-pay, benefit,
deductible) will vary based on a patient's individual plan. Questions about insurance can
be addressed when appointments are made. For more information, call 817.820.4870 or
email luisavaldez@TexasHealth.org.
ROAD PROJECTS & INFRASTRUCTURE
Construction on roundabout at Cheek-Sparger and Jackson Road
On January 15, the contractor started excavation and hit AT&T utility lines that were not
properly marked. The project was delayed while conducted the remaining utility
relocates. As of this date, AT&T has relocated their telephone lines so that Oncor can
move in and complete their relocations. Oncor sent a significant number of field crews to
the East Coast to help deal with the winter storms in that area, but it anticipated that
they will be done soon and the roundabout contractor will be able to resume
construction no later than Feb. 24.
