Breast Cancer Screening Program/Mammography Van at Massapequa Public Library

In conjunction with NuHealth/Nassau Health Care Corporation, Senator Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr. will be sponsoring a breast cancer screening program.

Appointments will be scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis.  On site nurses and technicians will provide a mammography, a clinical breast examination and instructions for self examination.  Patients and their physicians will be notified of the exam results.

The program is open to all Nassau County women ages 40 and over.  Women covered by insurance, Medicaid or Medicare will have their carrier billed and must bring their information card to the screening.  Patients are responsible for any co-pays charged by their carrier.  Women ages 40 and older without health insurance will not incur any out-of-pocket costs.
