WHAT – Nassau County Legislature Minority Leader Delia DeRiggi-Whitton (D - Glen Cove) is partnering with NuHealth to bring the breast cancer screening van to the Littig House Community Center in Port Washington on Saturday, Sept. 27 and the Charles Evans Center in Glen Cove on Thursday, Oct. 9. Free mammograms will be made available to women over the age of 40. Appointments include a breast exam from a nurse, a mammography, and self-examination instructions.
Appointments are required, and mammograms are free for uninsured women based on eligibility guidelines. Women with health insurance may be required to make a copayment. Women who have gone more than a year since their last mammogram will be required to get a prescription from their doctor (if they have insurance) and provide any past films (if available).
“Early detection is critically important for the successful treatment of breast cancer, and resources such as NUMC’s mammography van make it easy and convenient to get screened and ensure that you are receiving the care that you need,” Minority Leader DeRiggi-Whitton said. “If you are overdue for a mammogram, there is no better time than right now to take charge of your health by making an appointment for an exam today!”
For more information and to make an appointment while availability lasts, contact Minority Leader DeRiggi-Whitton’s office at (516) 571-6211 or dderiggiwhitton@nassaucountyny.gov.
