A powerful network

With over 189 active members, our organization forms a strong and reliable network. Additionally, we pursue relationships with local hospitals and clinics to reach women at risk for Breast and Gynecologic cancers.  This allows us to advocate in  local communities and work directly with the people we serve to ensure optimal care.

PATIENT ADVOCACY

Our mission includes addressing legislative and regulatory issues on a local, state, or national level, providing support to those living with cancer, raising public awareness of the disease, and improving the quality of cancer care.

EARLY DETECTION PROGRAMS

We provide funding for free mammograms and diagnostic screenings, in addition to providing treatment assistance and medications for the uninsured, and underserved in Georgia.  Quite simply, we fill the gap without the red-tape and bureaucracy.

SUPPORT & COUNSELING

We are here to be your spiritual support system; a trusted friend that you can count on during this fragile time. We are committed to helping support the essential needs of the patient, and to be an unexpected light of hope in the mist of darkness.

CAREGIVER ALLIANCES

The role of caregiver is an incredible and self-sacrificial gift to a loved one. We offer telephone counseling, and prayer sessions, along with a much needed "ME TIME" programs and events, to ease the burdens and challenges the caregiver faces each day.
