Public Health Initiative - Breast Cancer Lesion Detection Outreach Phase 3

We finished the third phase of our iBreast Exam outreach in Yonkers on October 23, and October 30, 2021, at the Yonkers YMCA. We intend continuing this program, and will announce further details shortly. So, if you missed the earlier outreach programs, stay tuned NOW!

Earlier, about 200 tests were conducted by specially trained iBreastExam testers on from May 22 to August 7, 2021, in two phases. The first phase was held in United Community Center in New Rochelle, from May 22 - June 12. The second phase was held in the Kiley Youth Center in Peekskill from July 17 to August 7. The Rotary Club of Peekskill was a partner in the second phase. A HUGE thanks to every one - Rotarians and non-Rotarians, including the medical team led by Dr. Castaldi and her hand-picked team from Westchester Medical Center.

The dedication and commitment of Rotarians was commendable! Tireless efforts embodying "Service Above Self!

Breast Cancer Lesion Screening: First Phase Completed!

We completed the first phase of the much-heralded Public Health Initiative, an outreach program for early detection of breast cancer lesions based on an innovative new device, iBreastExam. United Community Center of Westchester hosted this outreach at its premises in New Rochelle, New York. Dr. Maria Castaldi, Head of Breast Cancer Surgery, Westchester Medical Center, and her hand-picked medical team conducted the tests from May 22 - June 12, 2021. Despite the COVID-19 restrictions and fears, we tested and gave follow-up instructions to 96 women. This was our first project, and illustrates our dedicated, dynamic, and action-oriented Club!
