Danville – The Women’s Center at Hendricks Regional Health has recently been granted more than $56,000 for support of breast health services for low-income, uninsured or under-insured women. The grants came from two sources:
• $53,096 was granted from the Central Indiana Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. These funds will help low-income women in Hendricks County, and counties to the west of Hendricks County, get mammograms and other screenings, diagnostic procedures and consultations as needed.
• $3,550 was granted from Indiana Breast Cancer Awareness Trust. This gift also helps women in need receive necessary breast health services including a screening mammogram.
Both grants also allow the Hendricks Regional Health Women’s Center to expand outreach and education efforts about breast health. Funds from the grants will be available to qualifying patients beginning January 1, 2011.

About Susan G. Komen for the Cure® and the Komen Central Indiana Affiliate:
Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, that promise became Susan G. Komen for the Cure and launched the global breast cancer movement. Through events like the Komen Race for the Cure®, the Central Indiana Affiliate has invested in community breast health programs in 21 counties. Up to 75 percent of net proceeds generated by the Affiliate stay in Central Indiana. The remaining income goes to the national Susan G. Komen for the Cure Grants Program to fund research.
