Rush-Copley Medical Center in Aurora hopes to use a new $150,000 grant from the Avon Foundation — a public charity aimed at improving the lives of women and their families — to launch its Breast Education and Awareness Training program.
The two-year grant will give the hospital about $75,000 each year to reach out to women like Cuellar in the city’s Latina community, teaching them about early detection of breast cancer and facilitating regular screening and treatment services they may need.
When the grant expires, the hospital hopes to identify other partners who will continue to help fund the program.”*
