WHAT – In commemoration of October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Nassau County Legislator Scott M. Davis (D – Rockville Centre) is partnering with NuHealth to bring the breast cancer screening van to Kennedy Memorial Park in Hempstead Village on Saturday, Oct. 11. 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 a key to the successful treatment of breast cancer, and resources such as the NuHealth mammography van make it convenient and affordable for women to be examined right in their own backyards,” Legislator Davis said. “Now is the time to take charge of your health – I encourage you to contact my office and book your appointment for an exam while supplies last!”
For more information and to make an appointment while availability lasts, contact the office of Legislator Davis at 516-571-6201 or sdavis@nassaucountyny.gov.
