WHAT – In commemoration of October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Nassau County Legislator Carrié Solages (D – Valley Stream) is partnering with NuHealth and the Women’s Ministry of Emanuel Baptist Church to bring the breast cancer screening van to the Elmont church on Saturday, Oct. 18. 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 critical for surviving and thriving amidst a breast cancer diagnosis – and by coming together as a community, we can raise awareness and give those who are afflicted the resources they need to recover and prosper,” Legislator Solages said. “I’m thrilled to partner with Emanual Baptist Church and NuHealth to bring these potentially life-saving services to Elmont.”
For more information and to make an appointment while availability lasts, contact the office of Legislator Solages at 516-571-6203 or csolages@nassaucountyny.gov.
