WHAT – In observance of October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month in America, Nassau County Legislator Cynthia Nuñez (D – Valley Stream) is partnering with NuHealth to bring the breast cancer screening van to the Gateway Christian Center in Valley Stream on Monday, Oct. 12.
Appointments are required, and free mammograms and breast exams will be provided for uninsured women over age 40 based on eligibility guidelines. 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 saves lives, and the NuHealth Mammography Van empowers women to take charge of their health by raising awareness and bringing resources directly to the community,” Legislator Nuñez said. “Whether you are due for your annual mammogram or getting back into the practice of regular screenings, I encourage you to call my office and take advantage of this convenient and potentially life-saving opportunity.”
