Mammography screening program
starts Oct. 24

Princeton NJ—The University once again will be offering a mammography screening program for female faculty and staff members who are 35 years of age or older. The screening will be done at University Medical Center at Princeton, 253 Witherspoon St., on Oct. 24, 25, 27, 31 and Nov. 1.

Faculty and staff must call the medical center at 497-4310 (select prompt #2 for scheduling) to pre-register and indicate that the appointment is part of the Princeton University screening program.

On the day of the appointment, participants should bring their Princeton University faculty/staff ID card, Princeton University medical plan ID card, appropriate co-pay and physician’s name and address. Faculty and staff will not need a referral from their primary physician if they are covered under a Princeton University medical plan.

Those with questions may contact Sheryl Farah in the Office of Human Resources at 258-9112.
