Georgia health system receives $50,000 grant for Mammograms in Motion project
Southeast Georgia Health System, which serves patients in both Georgia and Florida, has received a $50,000 grant from the Coastal Georgia affiliate of Susan G. Komen for its Mammograms in Motion project.
This is the eighth straight year Southeast Georgia Health System has received funding for Mammograms in Motion from this same Susan G. Komen affiliate, according to a report in The Brunswick News. In 2017, the amount was also $50,000.
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,” according to the report. Southeast Georgie Health System’s three breast imaging locations all participate, and a “mobile health vehicle” is used to treat individuals in more rural areas.
