KITCHEN, FOX CHASE CANCER CENTER HOSTING FREE MAMMOGRAM EVENT

            PHILADELPHIA, June 2 — State Sen. Shirley Kitchen is teaming up with Fox Chase Cancer Center to offer women free mammograms.

            Women ages 40 and older may sign up for this free event, which will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 12 in the parking lot of Deliverance Evangelistic Church, located at 2001 W.
