Breast Cancer Services in Havasu, Arizona

I came across an article about a health fair held in Havasu, Arizona. It mentioned the Havasu Community Health Foundation and the assistance they provided for those with breast cancer, as well as those in need of assistance with mammograms. So I did a little digging. This is what I found out:

Excerpt from the original article:

"Jeanie Morgan, executive director of the Havasu Community Health Foundation, said the fair had been effective in getting out information about the organization’s programs."

“There’s a lot of people that don’t know we exist at all,” Morgan said. “When we come to events like this, it’s a chance for us to reach out.”

"The foundation provides low-cost lab work, mammograms, and other health tests. It organizes support groups for the ill, and provides education and information to the public on numerous health topics."

Here is the link for the Havasu Community Health Foundation .
