ABOUT JOY TO LIFE: 
Joy to Life is a key partner with the Alabama Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program. Their efforts have not only included funding for mammograms for underserved women, but also significant marketing campaigns to educate women about the importance of early detection for breast cancer and ensure uninsured, low income women are aware of ABCCEDP's free services.

Over the last five years, Joy to Life's funding and marketing efforts in combination with recommendations from ABCCEDP's committed physicians, the commitment of community health advisors, the support of strong advocates and the commitment of local county health departments to their communities has led to over 15,000 mammograms for uninsured, low income women of all ages. During this time, 689 breast cancers were diagnosed.

Without the commitment and support from partners like the Joy to Life Foundation, ABCCEDP would not be able to reach these women. Due to this support, on average of 11,500 women a year are screened for breast cancer and over 130 breast cancers are diagnosed annually. Working together, we have made a difference.
