Susan G. Komen Detroit Race for the Cure Awards Grant to ACCESS
|
|
The Susan G. Komen Detroit Race for the Cure has awarded a $115,000, one-year grant
to the ACCESS Community Health & Research Center to increase awareness of the lifesaving benefits of early detection of breast cancer.
The
Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Program (BCCCP) at ACCESS
Community Health & Research Center
will educate women older than 40 who reside in the metropolitan Detroit area and refer
them to low-cost or free mammograms and clinical breast exams in their
communities. In addition to raising community awareness about breast and cervical
cancer, the vital program will also break
down the educational, logistical and financial barriers that prevent many women
from obtaining early detection services.
|
 |
|
Since
January 1997, the BCCCP at ACCESS has reached more than 17,000 women with
information about the importance of early detection of breast cancer and has
referred almost 13,500 women for mammograms and clinical breast exams.
Since
1983, the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure Series has funded community-based
breast health programs across the U.S.,
including grants supporting BCCCP at the ACCESS Community
Health & Research Center since 2000. These programs are
dedicated to educating underserved women about breast cancer and linking them
with early detection screening services.
For more Information on BCCCP at the ACCESS Community
Health & Research Center, please call Hiam Hamade, RN, MPH, at 313-216-2206. For more information about breast cancer,
contact the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, at 1-877-GO-KOMEN
(1-877-465-6636) or www.komen.org.
