We are excited to share that LBBC has been awarded 2 grants, raising $1,985,000 over 5 years, by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Gilead Oncology. The grants are expected to educate and support over 400,000 young breast cancer survivors and those living with metastatic breast cancer, as well as provide educational materials to over 15,000 health care providers. "Both grants demonstrate our commitment to improving the quality of life for all people impacted by breast cancer, including those who face significant health equity barriers.” Jean Sachs, CEO of Living Beyond Breast Cancer #breastcancerawarenessmonth #breastcancer #healthequity
