Screening for breat cancer in Kenora has gotten a major boost.

The Hopsital Foundation has announced the installation of a new digital mammography machine.

Jess Rheault with the foundation says the purchase was made to retire outdated equipment.

Rheault adds the purchase of the mammography machine was made at the halfway point of the million dollar D-I campaign which has currently raised $430,835.

The next step is the purchase of a digital x-ray which can't be done until the million dollar mark is reached.
