The Cancer Services Program of Albany and Rensselaer Counties will be holding two special events in August to provide free comprehensive screenings for uninsured individuals on these dates:

— Aug. 24 from 4 to 6 p.m. at Capital Imaging Associates in Latham; and

— Aug. 27 from 4 to 6:30 p.m. at St. Peter’s Hospital in Albany.

All of the screenings that our program has to offer will be available for uninsured women age 40 and older, including a mammogram, clinical breast exam, and pap test.

A take-home kit to screen for colon cancer will also be available for men and women age 50 and older. All screenings are free.
