State Senator Joseph Addabbo sat down with two representatives from the Adelphi New York Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline & Support Program last week to talk about ways to inform the public about breast cancer screenings. They also spoke about the resources available to the public.
The program offers free mammograms, counseling and wellness workshops, among other services. They also celebrate breast cancer survivors.
“Mammograms have been known to save countless lives by leading to early detection of a potentially fatal diagnosis,” Addabbo said. “But it is important to focus not just on the screenings and diagnoses of breast cancer, but on the process of treating it as well.”
“The services that Adelphi offers can change the lives of breast cancer patients and their families by helping them cope with what can be one of the most difficult periods in someone’s life,” he added.
