“Mammograms are important preventative measures for women, which is why we are happy to provide this mobile screening to encourage Staten Island women to take charge of their health and make sure they get their annual mammogram,” said BP Oddo. “The earlier cancer is found, the easier it is to treat. Women should speak to their doctors to determine whether their risk factors require such screening.”
The screenings will be funded by the New York State Cancer Services Program and the Cancer Services Program of Staten Island.
