Make Breast Health An Important Part of Your Life

Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in American women, after skin cancer.
A woman's chance of surviving breast cancer is greatly improved with early detection and treatment.
You owe it to your family, your friends, and to yourself to do all you can to stay informed and have screenings on time.

Stories that Inspire

C. Thomas
Discovering a lump in my breast was enough to worry about but health insurance was definitely a problem for me. It almost got to the point I thought maybe it will go away on its own and everything will be fine simply because I did not want to be 19 years old and in debt with medical bills. After being seen at Health Services, Inc. I was told my case would be seen by the Joy to Life Foundation. I prayed they would help fund some of my medical expenses and they did just that! I asked my doctor's office what I owed and they told me the Joy to Life Foundation would be covering it. So much weight was lifted off my shoulders, I wanted to cry but instead I smiled and nodded. I'm so very thankful for everything Joy to Life has done for me. I will never forget this foundation, ever!

I'm 31 and in February I found a lump in my right breast literally 2-3 nights before I had my appoint at the Health Dept for my yearly exam. I found out that mammograms and ultrasounds were not a part of my Medicaid for family planning. I was in shock and now looking for a way to come up with all this money that I just didn't have. Luckily a nurse mentioned Joy to Life. I was on the phone the next day with y'all and was immediately put at ease and told that I would be accepted and just had to get my paperwork. I went back for my 6 month check up today and they said it was fine. I know how lucky I am that that y'all helped bc if not I would still be trying to come up with that money and the worry and stress of not knowing would have been mind torturing. Thank you so much.

I would like to give a big thank you to Joy to Life for being there for me and my family in my time of need. When I was diagnosed it was hard to accept but Joy to Life stepped in and helped me with my mammogram and biopsy making it easy for me. So I just would like to thank Joy to Life. Keep making a difference in someone's life because life is special.
