Birnbaum (D-Great Neck) is pleased to announce that courtesy of Nassau University Medical Center, a mammography van will once again be present in our community.

Martin Park located at 1601 Marcus Avenue in New Hyde Park on Wednesday, August 2, 2017 from 8:45 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Women who do not have health insurance, may be eligible for the Nassau Cancer Screening Program and they will not be charged for this service.
