Assemblyman Steve Hawley announced Monday that the Adelphi NY Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline & Support Program is conducting its annual Mother’s Day Mammography Campaign.
The organization is reaching out to New York women and asking them to help raise breast cancer awareness by getting a mammogram.
“As we celebrate Mother’s Day in the coming weeks, it’s important that we still remember how adverse a breast cancer diagnosis can be to a loved one,” Hawley said. “Raising awareness about breast cancer is essential for advancing treatment and prevention in our families and community.
"Even though the medical community has made great strides in breast cancer research, to date, the most effective way to fight breast cancer is early detection. I would encourage all women to help raise awareness for this cause by getting a mammogram this Mother’s Day.”
For more information about the annual campaign and to locate an accredited mammography facility nearby, call the Adelphi New York Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline & Support Program at 800-877-8077 or visit
