Foundation Mammography Grant
The National Breast Cancer Foundation has
presented the Martin Memorial Diagnostic Center with a grant for
mammograms for underserved women.
The NBCF has established and manages an effective offering of free mammograms to
underserved women through medical facilities in its national network of
providers.
The mission of the National Breast Cancer Foundation is to save lives by
increasing awareness of breast cancer through education and by providing
mammograms for those in need. The grant funds provided are designated for
screening and diagnostic mammograms only. Funds cannot be used for
additional workup or treatment.
The grant money will be used for the benefit of
women needing screening or diagnostic mammograms within the following criteria:
Funds will be used for women who are uninsured and/or under-insured. Women
who qualify will have an income of no more than 200% of the Federal poverty
level. They will have no medical insurance or have a co-pay that makes it
difficult for them to access care.
