Nyack Hospital’s Screening Coordination Program provides mammography screenings to uninsured and underinsured women ages 40-64 in the community to help combat the high incidence of breast cancer in Rockland County.   

Susan G. Komen for the Cure is the world’s largest breast cancer organization, and the Greater New York City Affiliate is one of 125 Affiliates on the front lines dedicated to ending breast cancer in their communities. Komen Affiliates fund innovative programs that help women and men overcome the cultural, social, educational and financial barriers to breast cancer screening and treatment.

“At the Komen Greater New York City Affiliate, we conducted a needs assessment of our community and discovered that these women were not always able to access screening services and quality medical care, due to financial constraints,” said Ivy Gamble Cobb, Chair, Grants Policy and Education Committee. “We are confident that through Nyack Hospital’s Screening Coordination Program, these uninsured and underinsured women in the community will have access to the care they need.”
