On Thursday, March 22, 2018, State Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. is partnering with Assemblyman Brian Barnwell and Councilman Robert Holden to bring free mammogram screenings to Maspeth.
The American Italian Cancer Foundation will bring their Mobile Care Clinic to Maspeth Federal Savings Bank, located at 56-18 69th Street, from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. to provide no-cost mammogram screenings and clinical breast exams for eligible women.
In order to be eligible for a free exam or screening, women must be:
- 40 years or older with health insurance;
- 50 years or older without health insurance;
- Currently living in New York City; and
- Had not had a mammogram in the last 12 months.
Uninsured patients are welcome, there are no co-payments, and all deductibles are waived.
“Bringing free mammograms and clinical breast exams to the district is a major service for women who are either uninsured or cannot make it to a clinic,” Addabbo said. “As you get older, it becomes more and more important for women to get these tests and screenings in order to monitor for breast cancer and other ailments. I thank the American Italian Cancer Foundation for coming into my district to provide this accessible vital service.”
Appointments are necessary in order to get your free mammogram screening or clinical breast exam. In order to make an appointment and secure your spot, call Assemblyman Brian Barnwell’s office at 718-651-3185, or Senator Addabbo’s office at 718-738-1111, or email chowdhurya@nyassembly.gov.
