Atrium Health Floyd will hold a ribbon cutting for  its state-of-the-art Mobile Mammography Coach, headquartered at the Atrium Health Floyd Chattooga Emergency Department in Trion. This innovative initiative promises a significant boost in convenient and accessible breast cancer screenings for women across Chattooga County and surrounding areas.

A special ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for 4 p.m. this afternoon, Monday, November 10, 2025, to celebrate the launch of this critical mobile unit, which will serve as an extension of services provided by Atrium Health Floyd and Harbin Clinic.

The Atrium Health Floyd Mobile Mammography Coach is equipped with the latest digital imaging technology, including advanced 3D mammography. This cutting-edge capability is particularly vital as it helps detect cancers that might be hidden in dense breast tissue, offering a more comprehensive and accurate screening than traditional methods.

The core mission of the mobile unit is to break down barriers to healthcare, providing easy access to vital breast cancer screenings for women in the community who may face challenges traveling to a full-service hospital or clinic. By bringing these essential services directly into the community, Atrium Health Floyd aims to increase early detection rates, which are critical for successful treatment outcomes and improved patient prognoses.

Strategically based at the Atrium Health Floyd Chattooga Emergency Department, located at 13583 US-27 in Trion, the mobile coach allows more women the opportunity to get screened close to home or work, removing common obstacles to preventative care.

Community members and media are invited to join representatives from Atrium Health Floyd, Harbin Clinic, and local officials at the ribbon-cutting ceremony today at 4 p.m. at the Atrium Health Floyd Chattooga Emergency Department. This event marks a significant step forward in community health initiatives, underscoring Atrium Health Floyd’s commitment to preventative care and making life-saving screenings more accessible to all.
