Assemblyman David G. McDonough (R,C,I-Merrick) is announcing that the Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Partnership will be providing free mammograms and cervical exams to uninsured women on March 8.

“The best medicine is early detection, and a lack of insurance should not be a barrier to obtaining quality preventative healthcare,” said Assemblyman McDonough. “This is a great program and I urge all women to take advantage of this opportunity to receive a free mammogram and cervical exam.”

The Breast Cancer and Cervical Cancer Screening Partnership, in conjunction with Nassau University Medical Center, North Shore/LIJ Health System, Planned Parenthood, and South Nassau Communities Hospital, will be conducting the free screening on Saturday, March 8, from 8:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. at NUMC, 2201 Hempstead Turnpike in East Meadow.

Appointments are necessary. For more information and to schedule an appointment, please call 516-572-3300.
