Program gives grants for breast cancer services

Posted: Updated:
ATLANTA -

Georgia health officials are working to improve breast cancer services for uninsured men and women in the state.    

The Department of Community Health has now handed out more than $1 million to 16 community organizations for treatment and screening projects.

The grant program is paid for through the sales of Georgia's breast cancer car tags.
 
Georgia's Breast Cancer Grant Program's goal is to expand education, outreach and access and to help treat those who do not have insurance.
