On Tuesday, October 4th, BP Oddo joined with Lt. Governor Kathy Hochul to kick off Breast Cancer Awareness Month. BP Oddo announced that he will sponsor four mobile mammography screening days in 2017. The screenings will take place at various locations throughout the Island on January 17th, April 6th, July 11th and October 3rd.
In addition, the Breast Cancer PSAs that our office produced earlier this year will be back in movie theaters thanks to a partnership with Staten Island University Hospital. Over the course of October and early November, the PSAs will be played over 5,500 times at the Atrium Stadium Cinemas and UA Staten Island Stadium 16 theaters. The PSAs tell the stories of four Staten Island women who survived breast cancer and emphasize the importance of screening and early detection.
"Women and men need to be self-aware and need to be vigilant about their health," noted BP Oddo. "When it comes to breast cancer and breast health, regardless of what you read, regardless of what you hear from your friends, you need to make a personal, individualized, informed decision after you speak with your physician."
