U.D.M.I. breast cancer fundraiser
BY ALEX MITCHELL
Throughout October,
University Diagnostic
Medical Imaging, P.C., a
full service diagnostic radiology
facility operating
out of 1200 Waters Pl. will
be holding an in-office
fundraiser to raise money
for breast cancer awareness
by selling specially
designed masks for $5.
All proceeds of this
fundraiser be donated to
The American Cancer Society
Making Strides to
support the ongoing fight
against the disease.
“U.D.M.I has been a
long standing supporter
of The American Cancer
Society’s Making Strides
Against Breast Cancer
because their missions
are aligned — to increase
awareness, early detection
and treatment of this
disease,” U.D.M.I. said in
a release.
On average, U.D.M.I
performs 18,000 mammograms
annually with an entire
department dedicated
to Women’s Imaging that
performs: mammography,
breast ultrasound, breast
MRI and procedures such
as breast biopsy.
“The importance of the
screening regimen is being
overlooked because of
COVID-19. We are highly
sensitive to this reality
and are equipped to deal
with the problem,” said
Dr. Marc Prager, founder
and medical director
at U.D.M.I.
According to U.D.M.I.,
there is concern that
spikes will be seen in laterstage
cancer diagnosis as
a result of COVID-19.
“Our doors are open and
we have even expanded
our hours to be able to accommodate
appointments
safely. Our advanced
equipment and highly
trained staff allow us to
conduct exams efficiently
and accurately. All women
should get screened! ”
The radiology office
also stated that “providing
quality medicine to
the often underserved
Bronx Community is the
passion and driving force
of U.D.M.I.” Health care professionals at U.D.M.I Photos courtesy of University Diagn
They count on you...
So count on us to
keep you going.
