NYC Announces Free Health Screenings
Take Care NY to offer free health screenings in and around Bed-Stuy for the month of October
Too many New Yorkers have life threatening diseases and don’t even know it. A simple health test for diabetes, blood pressure, asthma, cholesterol, HIV, depression, or breast or prostate cancer can save your life.
This October, visit any of the Take Care NY public education and health screening events to get a flu shot and the health screening tests you or your family need at little or no cost. If you currently are uninsured, New York City is offering a number of important free screenings and health diagnostics including mammograms, child immunizations, HIV and vision testing.
Visit one of the designated health centers to take advantage of the options from a MetroPlus Health Plan representative.
