Komen Florida is in your community
Komen Florida is expanding its first-in-nation Community Breast Health Navigator program to serve the Glades communities beginning this summer
The navigation program’s effectiveness in terms of people reached and potential lives saved has been so successful that Komen Florida has attracted new funding to expand to the rural Glades Region surrounding Lake Okeechobee. A Palm Beach County family foundation has contributed a $50,000 challenge grant to support the new service in this high-poverty region where the majority of residents identify as black or African American and the leading cause of death is cancer. Since the program’s inception nearly one year ago in Delray Beach, it has reached over 1,800 women.
