Lehigh Valley Health Network

Mobile Mammography Coach

The Lehigh Valley Cancer Institute introduced and provided tours of its new Mobile Mammography Coach during an Oct. 18 ceremony at Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest, Allentown. The coach offers a convenient way for women to have 3D screening mammograms where they’re located.

The unit’s Peplink EPX 15 Cellular SD-WAN router allows for real time imaging and reliability on a mobile coach as if the clinicians were providing the mammogram in the hospital. Lehigh Valley Health Network is the first to offer EPX in the United States for mobile health care and the first in the world for mobile mammography.

Speakers were Lehigh Valley Health Network’s President and Chief Executive Officer Brian Nester, D.O., M.B.A,. F.A.C.O.E.P.; Lehigh Valley Cancer Institute Breast Health Services Imaging Director Priya Sareen, M.D.,; and, from Lehigh Valley Cancer Institute Surgical Oncology, Lori Alfonse, D.O.
