Virginia Is A Buddy to Women

Kudos to Virginia Governor Tim Kaine for allocating $300,000 for the Virginia Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program.. The American Cancer Society also kicked in $50,000 for the program. This life saving program is aimed at women who have little or no insurance.
Finding abnormal cells early can prevent cervical cancer. And in his announcement, Governor Kaine called early detection the key to reducing Virginia's breast cancer death rate, which is slightly higher than the national average.

In DC, a similar initiative is called Project Wish. To find out if you are eligible for this District program, call 1-888-833-WISH [9474]
