WHAT: Nassau County Legislator Seth I. Koslow (D - Merrick) is partnering with NuHealth and the Breast Imaging Center at Nassau University Medical Center to bring the breast cancer screening van to Freeport Memorial Library from 8 - 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, April 23. Appointments include a breast exam from a nurse, a mammography, and self-examination instructions.
Women over age 40 who do not have insurance may be eligible for free mammograms through the Cancer Services Program. Women with health insurance may be required to make a copayment. Patients who have gone more than a year since their last mammogram will be required to get a prescription from their doctor for a bilateral mammogram (if they have insurance) and provide any past films/CDs (if available). Photo ID, proof of address, and an insurance card (if available) are required.
“Early detection is critical to successful outcomes in the fight against breast cancer, and it is essential to ensure that all women have convenient access to potentially life-saving exams and health resources,” Legislator Koslow said. “I thank everyone at Nassau University Medical Center and the Freeport Memorial Library for partnering with us to host this important opportunity for our community.”
Appointments are required, and 10 patient slots are available on a first-come, first served basis. To make an appointment, contact Legislator Koslow’s office at 516-571-6205 or skoslow@nassaucountyny.gov. For additional questions, please call 516-572-3300.
