Life-saving benefit brings mammograms to the office

Published Updated 6 Min Read

Mountain MedicalMountain Medical operates a mobile clinic that brings mammograms to offices.

When Cynthia Birth, 43, got a routine mammogram in the parking lot outside her office it saved her life.

Birth’s employer, O.C. Tanner — a Salt Lake City-based HR company — contracts with a radiology group that performs mammograms at job sites using a van outfitted like a doctor’s office. The service is included as part of O.C. Tanner’s benefits plan; there’s no copay for employees to participate. When the van showed up to her office two years ago, Birth joined the rest of her female colleagues for what she thought would be a routine exam. It wasn’t.
