THE FOUNDATION'S IMPACT

JDM21960.jpg

The Washington Breast Cancer Foundation Board of Directors remains committed to providing free mammograms to medically uninsured and medically underinsured women in the Miss-Lou. 

This program was initiated in December 2011.  In 2020, a working relationship was forged with Merit Health Hospital Natchez.  A total of 47 women have received services and 7 of those women received follow-up diagnostic mammograms.  Six received follow-up breast ultrasounds.  These statistics do not reflect the approximately 200 women who received services up to 2020 through local health clinics in the Miss-Lou region. 

Most recently the Foundation received correspondence from the new CEO, Garett May, thanking board members for partnering with the hospital and making a difference in the community.

TESTIMONIALS

“Getting a breast cancer diagnosis was quite overwhelming for me, especially because my younger brother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer just one month before. My surgeon, Dr. Johnny Gibson, told me about the support group, but I didn’t join until after the late Wanda Roberts kept encouraging me to do so.  This group proves the adage that you don’t know what someone is going through until you’ve walked in their shoes.  Being able to talk about having breast cancer and all of its ramifications with others who truly understand is transformational.  Seeing other women who have survived for many years gives hope to those who are newly diagnosed. What I appreciate most about Sisters In Touch is the ability to “touch” those who are newly diagnosed and to be a beacon of hope for them."
