Go Green Highlights: FREE Mammograms & Check Up! (6/1/2014)
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
We have planned many wonderful things for Go Green! Greenpoint Festival next Saturday, June 7th. We ask for your indulgence as we showchase some highlights over the next several days! |
FREE Mammograms & Check-ups at Go Green! Greenpoint Festival
Saturday, June 7th, 10 AM - 4:30 PM
McCarren Park
The American–Italian Cancer Foundation has agreed to bring their special mobile exam van to McCarren Park to offer FREE BREAST EXAMS on June 7th at Go Green! Greenpoint Festival! They will pick up your co-pay expense and will even handle up to 10 uninsured women. This couldn’t get any easier. For so many of us, the time taken from busy days being a mother, a wife, a partner, a worker, and the million things that make up each day is a huge deterrent for such an important health procedure. That's why we are thrilled to bring the service to you!
There are a few simple requirements:
1. You must be at least 40 years of age.
2. You must live in NYC
3. You have not had a mammogram in the past 12 months.
You can come to the park for walk-in appointments. But walk-ins are subject to availability so it is best to request your appointments ahead of time:
1. You can contact the American-Italian Cancer Foundation, Stephanie Gonzalez at 212-628-9090 or sgonzalez@americanitaliancancer.org,
2. You can go online to request your appointments (http://tinyurl.com/GoGreen-Breast-Cancer-Exam), or
3. You can simply email Town Square asking for a breast exam, with your name, address, phone #, age, and health insurance status (yes or no) and preferred appointment times from 10 AM to 4:30 PM, in 15 minute increments. Town Square will submit your appointment application for you.
Time slots are filling up so please ask for more than 1 time slot.
