SYRACUSE — Crouse Hospital will use a grant from the Central New York Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure to try to increase the number of women who are tested for breast cancer.
The grant, for $44,300, will help fund community outreach and education programs. Those programs include outreach targeted toward Syracuse minority populations made up of refugees and individuals who are chemically dependent.
Another outreach program that will use the funding is aimed at patients under age 40 who have abnormal test results or a family history of breast cancer. A final program slated to receive some of the funding reaches out to Crouse Hospital employees and their relatives.
