April 28, 2004 Legislator Gonsalves Urges Women to Participate in Mother’s Day Mammography Campaign Nassau
County Legislator Norma L. Gonsalves (R-East Meadow) is urging all women
to participate in the Mother’s Day “Peace of Mind” Breast
Cancer Campaign. Adelphi University’s School of Social Work has
established a state-wide Breast Cancer Hotline and Support Program where
women and their loved ones can receive free information about the dangers
of breast cancer and the importance of having an annual mammography. “Adelphi
University is providing a wonderful service for women to receive vital
information regarding their health. Breast Cancer is a serious disease
that can be treated successfully if caught early. A mammography is the
first line of defense and I urge all women who need information to give
the hotline a call,” said Legislator Gonsalves. |
