EUREKA – Greenwood County Hospital (GWCH)/ Eureka Clinic announced that it has been awarded a generous grant of $6,600 from the KHC Clinic Assistance Program to support and enhance ongoing efforts to increase cancer screenings among the community.
The funds provided by the KHC Clinic Assistance Program will be instrumental in expanding outreach initiatives, with a particular focus on raising awareness about the importance of breast, colorectal, cervical, and lung cancer screenings. This grant will allow GWCH/Eureka Clinic to implement a comprehensive marketing and community education campaign, utilizing radio, print, and electronic advertising channels to reach a wider audience.
“We are truly grateful for the support from the KHC Clinic Assistance Program,” said Melissa Jones, Quality/Risk/Eureka Clinic Director. “This grant will enable us to extend our reach and encourage more individuals to prioritize their health through regular cancer screenings. Early detection can make a significant difference in treatment outcomes, and this funding will contribute to saving lives in our community.”
