North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth and the North Hempstead Town Board have announced that Project Independence, the Town’s innovative ‘aging-in-place’ initiative, is once again partnering with St. Francis Hospital’s Community Outreach Program to provide residents with free health screenings.
“Project Independence is proud to partner with the St. Francis Hospital Community Outreach Program to hold free health screenings for our residents throughout the Town of North Hempstead with the goal of providing access to high quality healthcare to all in our community,” said Bosworth.
