Last year, the Ontario Government lowered the age of self-referral to mammograms to 40 years old. Women between the ages of 40 and 74 can now self-refer for publicly funded mammograms through the Ontario Breast Screening Program (OBSP).

By lowering the eligibility age of self-referral for publicly funded mammograms through the OBSP from 50 to 40, more than 305,000 people can connect to important screening services to detect and treat breast cancer sooner!

Our Story

Group Health Centre is committed to supporting a lifetime of care for our patients, from cradle to cane. We are home to 80 primary and specialty care physicians, 11 nurse practitioners, over 100 nurses, 33 allied health professionals, and over a dozen clinical programs that play a vital role in the health of over 80,000 patients in the Algoma district, and make this type of care possible.

Group Health Centre was founded in 1963 by thousands of Sault Ste. Marie steelworkers as one of the first union-sponsored community health centres in Canada. It promised its members no out-of-pocket costs at a time before provincial health insurance existed, for both primary and preventative care. The Centre has since been a leader in medical innovation, pilot projects and studies, winning National Best Practice Awards, being one of Canadaโ€™s top ten models of healthcare, and was referred to as โ€œCanadaโ€™s best kept health care secretโ€ by Roy Romanow, Commissioner for the Future of Health Care in Canada.
