State Sen. Joe Addabbo, Jr. (D-Howard Beach) and the American Italian Cancer Foundation are sponsoring two free mammogram events in the 15th Senate District in November. On Friday, Nov. 6, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., the foundation will be at the Joseph P. Addabbo Family Health Center, located at 6200 Beach Channel Dr. in Arverne, to provide no-cost digital mammograms and clinical breast exams to women who are eligible.

The AICF will also be conducting exams on Friday, Nov. 27 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Maspeth Federal Savings Bank, located at 56-18 69th St. in Maspeth. "It's an unfortunate reality that many people today are still without health insurance or cannot afford exams such as these, which goes a long way toward preventing a potentially serious diagnosis," Addabbo said.
