COCONUT CREEK, Fla. – A grassroots South Florida organization is helping women in need get free mammograms.
Thanks to a grant from the City of Coconut Creek, Tracy Posner, founder of BRCA Strong, will be able to provide the no-fee service to qualifying women.
“You know the stats keep rising and breast cancer doesn’t quarantine so why not make sure women are getting screened on a regular basis instead of prolonging that,” she said.
Posner, herself a breast cancer survivor, was motivated by data showing that 30% of women in South Florida do not undergo screening.
