Early Detection Saves Lives!
Donate Now!

The Cheryl Coleman Foundation for the Early Detection of Cancers, Inc. ("CCF"), is a not for profit organization (the application for 501(c)(3) status is pending). The purpose of the CCF is to raise awareness and educate women and men about the importance of the early detection of cancers, so that effective treatment can save lives; and to raise funds to provide mammograms and other diagnostic testing for individuals who are uninsured, under-insured or otherwise in need of financial assistance for diagnostic testing. Our mission is to save lives by providing the information necessary for individuals and their family members to recognize the symptoms of cancer, and to obtain the appropriate diagnostic testing to determine the existence of cancer. Through the early detection of cancers, people can survive the disease with proper treatment, and live longer, healthier and more productive lives. Your donations help save lives!

However, the rates of women receiving an annual mammogram have leveled off in recent years. In this podcast, Dr. Jackie Miller discusses the importance of women getting a mammogram.
