Women will be receiving first-time mammograms at Bluewater Health Friday as part of the hospital's 'Just Book It' campaign.
The Cancer Care Ontario Breast Screening Program has found 50-54-year-olds have the largest number of screen-eligible women who have not booked a mammogram before.
Director of Diagnostic Imaging Diane Cadieux says the average mammogram takes just five minutes to book and less than ten minutes to complete.

In 2015, it's estimated 9,800 Ontario women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and nearly 1,900 women will die of the disease.
