Susan G. Komen Memphis-MidSouth awarded a $48,000 grant to Baptist DeSoto to provide screening and diagnostic mammograms and ultrasounds to underserved women. This Komen grant services DeSoto, Tate, Tunica, Marshall, Benton, Coahoma and Quitman counties in Mississippi. The Baptist team accepted the funds during a presentation at the Westin Hotel.
At Baptist DeSoto, the grant from Komen will support Caring for Women, an initiative to provide these essential breast health services to women who would not otherwise be able to afford them.
