"Many of CHN's patients took full advantage of the convenience of having their annual mammogram in the same place they see their primary care providers," said Program Manager Alexis Greene.
The first Monday of each month the mobile mammogram unit, provided by the Italian-American Cancer Foundation, will be parked in front of CHN's Helen B. Atkinson Health Center.
The program provides mammograms to women ages 40 and older regardless of insurance status. Women must be a New York City resident.
Van events are provided in conjunction with Multi-Diagnostic, American-Italian Cancer Foundation, United Way of New York City and Fidelis Care New York.
