Posted

MASSENA – Massena Memorial Hospital will co-sponsor a free breast cancer and GYN screening with the St. Lawrence County Cancer Services Program on Saturday, June 9, by appointment only beginning at 9 a.m.

The free screenings will be performed by Dr. P.T. Nguyen, Board Certified OB/GYN at Massena Memorial Hospital’s Levine Outpatient Center. Mammograms at the MMH Women’s Imaging Center will be conducted by Paula Marshall, Radiologic Technologist/Mammography Technologist.

Early detection can make all the difference and is essential in the fight against cancer. For 14 years Massena Memorial Hospital in conjunction with St. Lawrence County Cancer Services Program have helped women stay up to date on screenings.

Women ages 40-64 who do not have health insurance should take advantage of the opportunity to get a free screening that includes: mammogram and breast exam, pelvic exam and pap smear.

Cancer Services Program, expressed her excitement in the services that Dr. Nguyen will be performing for the women at the event Saturday. “It shows his commitment to the community, and helping women keep up to date.”

If the exam comes back abnormal and Dr. Nguyen needs to take further preventative measures, St. Lawrence County Cancer Services Program will help to fund any further services.
