New! oregon mammography directory

OODH has launched a new Oregon Mammography Directory in celebration of Breast Health Awareness Month! The directory was developed to better inform Oregon women with disabilities of the accessibility/usability features of mammography facilities in their area. The information provided is meant to help women with disabilities choose a facility based on their needs, and to prepare for upcoming mammography exams.

To learn more about the project and find information about mammography facilities in your area, visit OODH's Mammography Accessibility Project page.
