APRIL IS NATIONAL CANCER CONTROL MONTH

On March 31, 2023, President of the United States, Joseph R Biden, Jr. proclaimed April 2023 as the first National Cancer Control Month.

Detecting cancer early can increase survival rates, and we urge everyone to catch up on routine screening appointments they may have missed during the pandemic and encourage loved ones to do the same. The Department of Health and Human Services is helping community health centers improve access to early detection, too.  To learn which screenings are right for you, talk to your health care provider or visit www.cdc.gov/cancerscreening or www.cancer.gov/screeningtests, or call 1-800-4-CANCER.

If you need to see one of our NORC Nurses or Social Worker, please call for an appointment. Our Office hours are Monday-Friday from  9:30am to 12:30pm, Spring Creek Senior Partners offers free blood pressure, Body Mass Index, Weight and Oxygen Level screenings.  Call our office at 718-348-7620 to schedule an appointment.
