WHAT – Nassau County Legislature Deputy Minority Leader Arnold W. Drucker (D – Plainview) is partnering with NuHealth to bring the breast cancer screening van to the Syosset Public Library on Thursday, Nov. 7. Free mammograms will be made available to women over the age of 40. Appointments include a breast exam from a Licensed Practical Nurse or Registered 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 key to the successful treatment of breast cancer, and the mammovan provides easy access to potentially life-saving resources by bringing them directly to patients,” Deputy Minority Leader Drucker said. “I am proud to once again partner with NUMC and the Syosset Public Library to deliver this vital resource to our community.”
For more information and to make an appointment while availability lasts, contact Deputy Minority Leader Drucker’s office at 516-571-6216 or adrucker@nassaucountyny.gov.
