Dennis Turner+FollowBuffalo’s mobile cancer screenings save livesRoswell Park’s EDDY mobile unit is making a real difference in Buffalo, rolling right into neighborhoods to offer free cancer screenings.

This program isn’t just about convenience; it’s about breaking down barriers, especially for folks who might not have easy access to healthcare. With EDDY expanding to more Buffalo districts, how do you feel about health services coming straight to your street? #News #Buffalo #CancerAwareness00Share
