Mammography Screening
 A mammogram, or X-ray of the breast and surrounding tissues, can effectively detect cancers long before you might feel a change during your monthly breast self-exam. Mammography can detect breast changes that could signify very early breast cancer.
Although an annual mammography offers your best chance for early detection of breast cancer, no test provides 100% accuracy. Therefore it's vital for you to maintain a schedule of yearly mammograms and perform monthly breast self-exam (BSE) to check for changes.
Remember, the earlier you detect breast cancer, the better your chance of beating this insidious disease. Our state-of-the-art Diagnostic Center, located on the first floor of the hospital, provides a convenient pleasant atmosphere and quick and accurate results. Mammography Screening

Southern Brooklyn has long been a Mecca to new immigrants. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries it was ethnic Jews, Irish and Italians who settled here. In the 50s and 60s, African-Americans migrated from the South to live and work in New York City. Many settled in Coney Island where there was newly constructed affordable housing. From the late 1970s through the early 1990s, Brighton Beach became known as Little Odessa because it became the home of refugees fleeing religious and political persecution in the former Soviet Union. In the last 10 years, immigrants from many parts of the world have made southern Brooklyn their home as they sought a better life for themselves and their children.
