On December16 from 1:30-4:00 p.m., I am sponsoring Project Renewal’s Scan Van, which will be parked on First Avenue between 16th and 17th Streets to provide free mammograms, by appointment, to women over 40 who haven’t had one in the past year. Annual mammograms help detect breast cancer in its earliest, most treatable stage and can save lives. Space is limited, so please call (800) 564-6868 to make your appointment.
