The Twin Tiers Region chapter of the Susan G. Komen organization awarded the grant funding, Crouse Health said in a news release issued Thursday.
The project’s goal is to “promote awareness” of breast cancer to all women in the region, including those between the ages of 30 and 40 with “strong” family histories of breast cancer.
“This project will also support our Spirit of Women program to continue Crouse Health’s mission and its focus on improving women’s health,” Kathleen Miller Murphy, manager of community engagement, said in the release. “We will now be able to build more relationships with women in our community and connect them with the breast care resources they need.”
Crouse’’s Spirit of Women program “educates, engages and empowers” its 6,000 members to make “more informed” health-care decisions.
The Komen grant will enable Crouse Health and Spirit of Women continue to collaborate with community groups, such as the local YMCA, Clear Path for Veterans, and Breast Care Partners to increase breast-health awareness.
Crouse will also be able to increase its outreach to women and their family members who may need financial help to receive the diagnostic services they need.
