WCTE Komen Reach
One of this year’s Komen Reach grant recipients is the Tennessee Health Department. Through the BeSt (Breast Screening and Treatment) for Tennessee Women Project, funding has provided breast cancer screenings for 140 women from the 14 counties in the Upper Cumberland region. These are women age 50 and older who have never had a mammogram and are at greater risk. Additionally, 20 diagnostic follow ups will be provided.
