Friday: Golden Partners With American-Italian Cancer Foundation To Provide Women With Mammograms

In conjunction with the American-Italian Cancer Foundation’s (AICF) Free Mobile Mammography Program, State Senator Marty Golden will host free mammography screenings outside of his district office, 3604 Quentin Road, this Friday, November 22 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Staffed completely by women, the mammography screenings take about 30 minutes to complete inside the 37-foot mobile mammography van.

The AICF’s Free Mobile Mammography Program aims to break down the barriers to breast cancer screening, which results in many underserved women losing their lives to breast cancer due to advanced disease at diagnosis.

Women interested in appointments must be over 40 years of age and have not had a mammogram in the past year. Results will be sent to you and/or your doctor within 10 business days. Uninsured women will be covered by the AICF’s funding.

An appointment, which is necessary, can be made by calling (718) 238-6044.
