September 26, 2011, Brooklyn, NY...As previously announced, Lutheran Medical Center is the first health care system in Brooklyn to offer 3D digital mammography.

Quinn and Council Members Domenic M. Recchia, Jr., Sara M. González and Vincent J. Gentile, all of whom joined with LMC executives, board members, and medical staff to unveil this revolutionary, new equipment.
