Outreach for Breast Health Foundation (OBHF) is pleased to announce that it
has been awarded a Komen Greater NYC 2007 STEP Grant. The grant will fund
the “Outreach for Breast Health Foundation Screening Coordination and
Outreach/In-reach Project”.
The purpose of the project is to educate medically under-served women, including
minority women, new immigrants, uninsured, poorly insured, and senior
citizens in breast health care, and link them to annual screening mammography
and clinical breast exams by providing access to free mobile mammography.
In addition, the Health and Hospital Corporation has awarded OBHF's medical
provider funding to launch a free mobile mammography program to specifically
target under-served women in Staten Island. OBHF will be assisting with
coordinating mobile mammography programs in low-income neighborhoods.
Outreach for Breast Health Foundation will hold the 4th Annual Benefit
honoring Dr. Deborah Axelrod in Spring 2008.
More info will be released soon.
