MILFORD, Del. — Shoppers at a Delaware Walmart Supercenter have the opportunity to better safeguard their health thanks to a new lab inside the store that offers 3D mammograms.

The MammogramNow lab is part of a pilot program between Walmart, Delaware Imaging Network and RadNet, a national provider of high-quality, cost-effective outpatient diagnostic imaging services. It was opened in late December in the store in Milford, located about 20 miles south of Dover.
âYou can come in and get clothes, food, medicine,â patient Dierdre Bell said in a CNN interview. âWhy not a mammogram?â
âThis pioneering initiative aims to enhance breast health awareness and accessibility, including the integration of cutting-edge DeepHealth technology into the Walmart Supercenter environment, providing women with convenient access to crucial breast cancer screening services,â a news release from RadNet stated.
Tim Merchant, RadNetâs national director of screening networks and population health strategy, told CNN that about 90% of Americans live within 10 miles of a Walmart store. The same cannot be said of their proximity to standard radiology labs.
âThat gives us an incredible opportunity to provide access, where it might not exist otherwise, to breast cancer screening services,â Merchant said. âWe think thereâs a wonderful future for this.â
The goal of the initiative is to encourage proactive, community-based healthcare, according to Howard Berger, RadNetâs president and CEO.
âThe ability to offer leading-edge hardware, software and AI technologies in a non-traditional healthcare location, such as a highly-trafficked retail location like a Walmart Supercenter, could become a new paradigm for the future of consumer healthcare and preventative medicine,â Berger said.

DELAWARE COUNTY, Ohio — People in Delaware County said it feels like new housing developments are popping up on every corner.

“What haven’t you noticed, right? The whole area just exploded,” said Scott Shonebarger.
Scott Sanders, the executive director of the Regional Planning Commission, said companies like Intel and other industries are a main driver for thousands of people moving to Delaware County.
With the big boom comes an urgent need for more housing.
John Wicks is the developer at Real Property Design and Development.
He has spent over a decade building homes for families in Delaware County.
Wicks said the Olentangy School District is one of the hottest spots for new homes.
“I started with one high school up until the 90s, then now we’re up to four up to five different high schools so it’s just a big draw,” said Wicks. “It’s a beautiful community.”
The district has grown into the fourth largest in Ohio with a new elementary school opening next year, and a fifth high school in 2028.
Wicks said the growth has presented some challenges over the years like labor shortage and some opposition.
“It’s become a big issue for a lot of people that live in and around these areas. They tend to oppose new growth and new development, so restrictions have gotten a little bit harder. Costs have obviously gone up over the last 20 years,” said Wicks.
The planning commission says between 275,000 and 350,000 people could call Delaware County home by 2040.
That’s up from 214,000 in 2020.
Scott Shonebarger said he supports growth but wonders when is enough.
“I mean to a certain extent I think you know at some point right you have to have some sort of boundaries I think, getting into the fact that now you have five high schools,” said Shonebarger. “What’s the limit?”
Police in Wilmington, Delaware, shot and killed a 19-year-old man Wednesday night.
The incident happened in a residential area near 24th and Jessup streets just after 11 p.m., Wilmington police said in a news release. The person who was shot has not been publicly identified.
Officers were monitoring a large crowd gathered outside when they saw a man exit a home with a handgun and point it toward the crowd, police say.
When officers approached the man, he ran away and a foot pursuit began, police say.
At some point in the chase, an officer fired their weapon and hit the 19-year-old. The man was taken to a local hospital, where he later died.
Police say they recovered a loaded gun from the man and that the officer was not injured.
Video filmed at the scene shows a crowd of residents gathered outside after the shooting.
Police are asking anyone with more information to come forward. The shooting is under investigation by the Delaware Department of Justice and Wilmington police.
Delaware Supreme Court Justice Karen L. Valihura announced Wednesday that she will lead a new corporate law institute at the Wilmington University Farnan School of Law.

As well as joining the Wilmington University law school faculty, Valihura will be the founding director of the school’s new Corporate Law, Governance and Practice Institute. …
