Councilman Robert Holden’s office is partnering with Maspeth Federal Savings Bank to host a free breast cancer screening event on Wednesday, June 7.
The event will be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the branch located at 56-18 69th St. in Maspeth. Those interested in attending must first call Holden’s office at 718-366-3900 to make an appointment.
Regular screenings may help in early detection of breast cancer, Holden said. He is encouraging all women to get screened.
“Breast cancer screening is not just a simple medical test; it is a crucial step towards ensuring the well-being of every woman,” Holden said, adding that testing can “significantly” increase the chances of successful treatment and potentially save lives.
“I’m thrilled to bring this screening event to the district, enabling women to take charge of their health and receive the care they deserve,” Holden added.
