(New York, NY – April 16, 2026) – NYC Health + Hospitals/Gotham Health announced that a state-of-the-art 3D mammogram machine, which provides cutting-edge breast cancer detection and a more comfortable experience for patients, is now available at Gotham Health, Sydenham. Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women, and early detection is crucial. Gotham Health, Sydenham, now offers 3D mammography, also known as Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT), which provides clearer, layer-by-layer images, allowing for higher cancer detection rates, particularly in patients with dense breast tissue. 3D mammography significantly reduces false positives (unnecessary callbacks) and is more accurate in detecting smaller, early-stage invasive cancers.

“I am proud that we can offer this new, state-of-the-art machine to our Gotham Health patients,” said Michelle Lewis, CEO of NYC Health + Hospitals/Gotham Health. “This advanced screening tool strengthens our commitment to the community and ensures women have access to the best care possible.”

“As Chair of the Aging Committee, the health of our people is one of my primary concerns,” said State Senator Cordell Cleare. “We already know that Black People are more likely to contract cancer and for that cancer to be more serious and invasive. With the addition of this new mammogram machine at Sydenham we can focus far more on early detection and prevention and that is exactly what our community needs.”
“The arrival of this state-of-the-art 3D mammogram machine marks a significant advancement in healthcare for women in our Harlem community,” said Assemblyman Jordan J.G. Wright. “It is essential that we continue to support and invest in our local community health centers, as they serve as the first point of access for residents seeking immediate care. By combining the comfort of familiar faces in trusted settings with cutting-edge technology, we create a winning formula that enhances health outcomes for all.”

“Access to early, accurate breast cancer screening can save lives, and every Manhattanite deserves that level of care close to home,” said Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal. “I’m grateful to NYC Health + Hospitals/Gotham Health for bringing this state-of-the-art 3D mammography technology to Sydenham, expanding access to high-quality, patient-centered care in our communities. Investments like this help ensure New Yorkers across our borough can get screened earlier, more comfortably, and with greater peace of mind.”

“Access to advanced screening technologies like 3D mammography is vital for early detection and saving lives,” said Council Member Yusef Salaam. “I commend Gotham Health, Sydenham for bringing this state-of-the-art machine to the community, ensuring that every woman has the tools and support she needs to protect her health.”
