Sarasota Memorial’s Breast Health Grant Support Program was recently awarded a $100,000 grant from the Sarasota Memorial Healthcare Foundation (SMHF).  This funding will enable SMH’s Breast Health Grant Support Program to continue providing qualifying residents of Sarasota County the breast health screening and diagnostic services they need. With this grant, the program will be able to provide an estimated 665 mammograms, 330 breast ultrasounds, and 30 breast biopsies free of charge. Unlike other free mammogram programs, SMH’s Breast Health Grant Support Program ensures that all qualifying individuals will receive access to the full continuum of breast health care. Any grant recipient diagnosed with breast will be assisted in obtaining Medicaid through the Florida Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Program, and will be given timely access to the medical surgery, treatment and care she needs.  Through this grant, SMHF has helped ensure that all Sarasota County women from all walks of life receive the access they deserve to maintain their breast health.
