    Delta Memorial Hospital Foundation's Save A Life Sister Program gets a grant from Susan G Komen Foundation for Breast Cancer Detection

    Foundation Board Member Betty Smith is looking so proud and pretty in pink on the right hand side of the photo. Delta Memorial Hospital Foundation's Save A Life Sister Program received a grant from Susan G Komen Foundation for Breast Cancer Detection. The Save A Life Sister (SALS) Program provides free mammography to uninsured and underinsured women in East Contra Costa County. Komen celebrated the grantees with a conference yesterday and it was wonderful. The controversy continues about whether women over age 40 should get routine screening. Keep in mind that in SALS, all three women found to have breast cancer were younger than 50 and that over 50% of the women served through our program are between the ages of 40 and 49. Sutter Delta's physicians agree with the American Cancer Society, Komen and others that these women should be screened. It's important to have this option available so that each woman may make an informed decision and not be denied a screening that might save her life.
