Funding from the Alberta Cancer Foundation has been critical to the success of this program - which began in 1991 - allowing more Albertans to undergo breast cancer screening in their own communities. The program currently serves 120 Rural communities, 28 of which are Indigenous communities across Alberta. Learn more at https://www.albertacancer.ca/mobile --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/femalefounderfridays/message
