Services will include a a mammography, a clinical breast examination and instructions for self examination.
The program is open to Nassau County women. If you're covered by by insurance, Medicaid or Medicare, they will be billed and you must bring their information card to the screening, along with a prescription from their physician. You will also be responsible for any co-pays.
