The Community Profile, which guides our Community Grants Program, is an in-depth look at the state of breast cancer in north central Alabama, identifying the breast health and breast cancer screening, treatment and education needs of our communities. A Community Profile is completed every two years in collaboration with local medical experts and community leaders. To read the 2011 Breast Health Community Assessment, click below.
