Golden, Malliotakis promote heart health
Residents of southern Brooklyn will be able to undergo testing to see if they are in danger of suffering heart attacks or strokes, thanks to two lawmakers who are teaming up to sponsor free health screenings in the district office they share.
State Sen. Marty Golden (R-C-Bay Ridge-southern Brooklyn) and Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis (R-C-Bay Ridge-Staten Island) are partnering with the company Heartscan Services Inc. to offer free heart and stroke screenings at their district office at 7408 Fifth Ave. on Aug. 27, Sept. 5, and Sept. 10. The screenings will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 5 p.m.
“We all know that heart disease and strokes are deadly and can cause great hardships. Early detection and regular screenings can and will save lives. I urge my constituents to take the time and make sure to get screened at this free event,” Golden said.
