Free Mammogram Screening At Senator Golden’s Office Next Month
Senator Marty Golden has announced his third free mammography screening event this year in conjunction with the American Italian Cancer Foundation.
The screening event will take place on Friday, October 16, aboard the mobile care clinic that will be parked outside his office located 3604 Quentin Road.
No-cost mammograms will be available by appointment only from 9am to 4:30pm for women who are over age 40, a New York City resident, and who has not had a mammogram in the past year.
“I am proud to continue my partnership with The American Italian Cancer Foundation to make free mammography screenings available for those eligible,” said Golden. “This quick medical exam uses a noninvasive X-ray targeted to each breast, producing pictures that medical professionals can use to identify and treat any abnormal areas, possibly indicating the presence of cancer. Early detection of breast cancer saves lives, and I encourage those who have not had a mammogram in more than a year to make an appointment. It is important to stay informed, stay healthy, and get screened.”
To schedule an exam, please call the American Italian Cancer Foundation at (877) 628-9090 or visit their website.
