MAMMOGRAMS IN MOTION RECEIVES FUNDING

The Coastal Georgia Affiliate of Susan G. Komen recently awarded a $50,000 grant to Southeast Georgia Health System for its Mammograms in Motion project. Led by the Health System, Mammograms in Motion is a collaboration with area physicians, community health centers and county health departments to provide breast health education and outreach, screening mammograms and diagnostic breast work-up services to uninsured and low income individuals residing in Brantley, Camden, Glynn, Long, and McIntosh counties. High-risk patients are eligible for breast MRI scans.
