HARRISBURG – Two Clearfield County mammography facilities are among a group of 115 inspected during the Department of Environmental Protection’s 2007 second quarter reports. The facilities at Clearfield Hospital and DuBois Regional Medical Center are operating within the guidelines set forth by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The inspections help to ensure that this sophisticated equipment is maintained and operated properly.
