Ontario Breast Screening Program

CMH is proud to be designated as an OBSP Breast Screening Site, 

one of three in the regions of Waterloo Wellington. With this 

designation, CMH provides timely, high-quality diagnosis and 

follow-up for people with abnormal screens.

  • have not had a mastectomy
  • have not had a screening mammogram within the last 11 months
  • If transfeminine, have used feminizing hormones for at least five years in a row
