In observance of “Breast Cancer Awareness Month” in the United States, Nassau County Legislature Minority Leader Delia DeRiggi-Whitton is partnering with NuHealth to bring the mobile breast cancer screening unit to the Charles Evans Center, located at 113 Glen Cove Avenue, Glen Cove, NY 11542.
This “MammoVan” community activity will take place on Wednesday, October 21, from 8 am to 12 pm (By appointment only).
Free mammograms and breast exams will be offered to uninsured women over age 40, subject to eligibility criteria.
Those women who have not had a mammogram for more than a year must present a medical order (if they have insurance) and provide previous x-rays (if they have them).
“Early detection is critical to the treatment of breast cancer, and NUMC’s mobile mammography unit makes it easier and more convenient to access proactive care that can save lives,” said Legislator DeRiggi-Whitton.
“If you’re due for a mammogram, I can’t think of a better way to honor the spirit and mission of Breast Cancer Awareness Month than by making an appointment and taking charge of your health,” added the Democratic official elected from Glen Cove.
For more information and to make an appointment (subject to availability), contact Minority Leader DeRiggi-Whitton’s office at (516) 571-6211 or [email protected].
