Nevada Health Centers Mammovan

February 24, 2026 | Thomas & Mack Center

7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

(closed for lunch from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m.)

On-site mammogram screenings with NV Health Centers

Make an appointment by calling 888.581.6266, option 1


Early detection is the best protection! Most medical guidelines suggest that average women aged 40 and over should begin receiving annual mammograms. Individuals with a higher-than-average risk (for example, those with a family history of breast cancer or known genetic mutations such as the BRCA gene) are generally urged to start earlier. Talk to your doctor if you have questions!


The Mammovan features Smart Curve paddles that are more accurate and more comfortable as well as 3D imaging.


We encourage you to connect with Nevada Health Centers to discuss insurance coverage and cost before scheduling.

Las Vegas Corporate Challenge Sign Ups

Open NOW.

Competitions to take place February 26 - May 16 2026.


UNLV is officially in for the 2026 Las Vegas Corporate Challenge, and this is one of the most fun, energizing things we do together each year. This citywide event brings organizations together for weeks of friendly competition, team spirit and connection. There are tons of activities to choose from including traditional sports, games, and low-pressure options that truly have something for everyone.


Right now, we are actively looking for Captains and Co-Captains, and this is where we need our Rebels to step up. Captains help bring teams together, keep everyone informed and make sure UNLV shows up strong and proud. You do not need prior experience and you do not need to have a full team ready. We will support you every step of the way.


Captains and Co-Captains help coordinate their team, share event details, assist with check-in on event days, distribute shirts and bring the energy. If you like connecting with people, cheering others on or being part of something bigger, this role is for you.
Captain and Co-Captain sign up


Not interested in leading but definitely want to play? Perfect. We need lots of participants to fill our rosters across many activities. You can sign up for the event that excites you most or register as a free agent and we will place you on a team. This is a great way to meet colleagues from across campus and be part of the fun without any extra responsibility.

Participant sign up


Spots fill quickly, teams are forming now and we want UNLV to show up big. Grab your spot, invite your coworkers and let’s make this our strongest Corporate Challenge yet.
