BOISE -- St. Alphonsus is taking breast cancer prevention on the road thanks to a new mobile mammography truck.

Proceeds from the Festival of Trees and other fundraisers paid for the Women's Wellness Mobile Clinic, which was officially unveiled Monday.

KTVB got a sneak peek inside and found out how the clinic will help women around Idaho.

"We have drivers and technologists. They all have their CDLs and they drive these mobiles to far south as Duck Valley Reservation, into Eastern Oregon, then Council and on to Shoshone," said Jackie Babb, St. Alphonsus Breast Care Center.

The truck and the equipment inside cost $655,000.
