For the first time ever, BreastScreen SA has performed more than 100,000 mammograms in one year.

44 year old client Melissa Williams had the milestone mammogram, while getting her first ever screen at Marion Clinic.

"When I got the call, I thought that is so great to hear, it is such a milestone that has been reached and women are being more proactive about their health. It’s such great news. Knowing it has never been reached before is fantastic." Ms Williams said.
