Brooklyn – State Senator Martin J. Golden (R-C-I, 22nd District) today is announcing his partnership with the American Italian Cancer Foundation to provide no cost digital mammograms and clinical breast exams at two events scheduled for the beginning of next month.

The Mobile Care Clinic will be outside Senator Golden’s office at 7408 5th Avenue on Wednesday, December 2, 2015, and then on Thursday, December 10, 2015, outside his office at 3604 Quentin Road in Brooklyn.  The events are both scheduled from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm.  Women over the age of 40, who are New York City residents and have not had a mammogram in the past year, are encouraged to call 1-877-628-9090 for an appointment.

Senator Marty Golden stated,  “I am proud to partner with the American Italian Cancer Foundation to make available free mammography screenings and bring public awareness to the importance of getting tested. All women are at risk of breast cancer and research shows that early detection of breast cancer saves lives. I encourage all those who have not had a mammogram in more than a year to make an appointment and get checked.”
