Senator Addabbo Hosts Successful Mobile Mammogram Event at Woodhaven District Office in Partnership with American-Italian Cancer Foundation

Woodhaven, NY — June 1, 2025 — Senator Joseph Addabbo Jr. hosted a Mobile Mammogram Event at his Woodhaven district office through a partnership with the American-Italian Cancer Foundation (AICF). The event successfully provided free breast cancer screenings to 20 women in the community, emphasizing the importance of early detection and accessible healthcare services.

The mobile mammogram unit arrived at the district office during the morning hours to provide free breast cancer screening services to women of all ages. The program worked to educate people about breast health while making essential screening tests accessible to women who need them.

Senator Addabbo expressed his satisfaction about the numerous women who actively pursued their health needs during this day. “Through regular screenings women can receive life-saving benefits and I feel proud to collaborate with the American-Italian Cancer Foundation for delivering essential healthcare services to our community,” Senator Addabbo said. 

Breast cancer stands as a leading cancer type affecting women and screening tests serve as the essential tool for both early cancer identification and successful medical interventions. Such events create pathways to healthcare services for women who normally encounter challenges when trying to get screened.

The American-Italian Cancer Foundation works to decrease cancer impact by conducting educational outreach activities and screening programs. The foundation focuses on underserved communities to deliver free cancer screenings while teaching people about cancer prevention and early detection methods.

The achievement of Addabbo’s mobile mammogram event demonstrates why community-based health initiatives together with public officials and healthcare organizations should work together. The senator plans to maintain his health promotion activities for the entire district.
