Tough Enough to Wear Pink Info

 

  • Since inception (Spring 2010) we have helped 63 women.
  • Grant dollars used to date:  $12,437.46
  • Services provided under the grant:  screening mammograms, diagnostic mammograms and ultrasounds, diagnostic breast biopsies, breast biopsy pathology, lymphedema sleeves, wound care after breast surgery
  • Referrals for the grant come from the Loveland Community Health Center for uninsured and underinsured women to access screenings and diagnostics.
  • Many women have delayed their screenings and diagnostics due to financial worries.  Sixteen of the 63 women had suspicious findings on screenings and needed further testing.  Happily, none of these were diagnosed with cancer.
  • Referrals for lymphedema sleeves come from McKee physical therapists who work with women who have painful arm swelling due to breast surgery, lymph node removal, and radiation treatments.
  • Women needing financial help to obtain the lymphedema sleeves are low income with Medicare insurance which does not pay for these supplies.
  • The sleeves reduce swelling and pain and enable the women to be more

active.

  • As more and more state and grant programs reduce funding for breast services and then as more patients delay screenings and treatment, being able to help patients access care through the Tough Enough to Wear Pink funds is truly a gift for our community members.
