Guam - Guam Cancer Care received an $800,000 grant from the University of Guam and the Guam Cancer Trust Fund. Guam
Cancer Care's marketing and program coordinator Charlona Lauron says this money
will go to support the non-profit's mission to support cancer patients as well
as raise awareness on screenings and healthy lifestyle.
Lauron told KUAM News, "This money actually helps us continue
our services here at Guam Cancer Care. We offer patient navigation we offer
financial assistance we also offer our new programs which are cancer screening
and by next week we're also going to have the unveiling of our transportation
program. What this award does is it allows us to continue the services of
helping all the cancer patients on island."
Guam Cancer Care has helped more than 300 patients since the
non-profit organization's inception more than a year ago.
