- What safety precautions are being taken with waiting rooms, office visits, and surgeries?
- Are there options for telehealth consultations for new and existing patients?
- What surgeries for breast reconstruction are currently taking place?
This event, which is sponsored by the Adelphi NY Statewide Breast Cancer Program, is free but registration online is required. No phone RSVPs at this time.
