Community Breast Cancer Screening

The National Black Leadership Commission on Health will host the Upstate University Hospital Mammography Van in the South Side this month. The van is part of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s “Get Screened, No Excuses” Breast Cancer Initiative, which aims to remove obstacles to breast cancer screening for women in New York. To schedule, call (315) 464-2582 or go online at http://www.upstate.edu/mobile-mammography/. To be eligible, women should be 40 years and older, not have had a mammogram in the past 12 months and not be experiencing breast problems.
