The Marvine Ranch Cancer Screening Fund provides assistance to our low-income and uninsured community members to receive necessary cancer screenings, such as mammograms. The program helps cover the cost of the mammography exam and the radiologist to interpret the exam results.

Twelve area residents received assistance from the Marvine Ranch Cancer Screening fund to assist with necessary screenings. The number of residents who need this assistance is growing. It is important to have cancer screenings available; as early detection is the best defense against cancer. Early detection gives people the best chance to beat the disease.

In August PHF partnered with Haselden Construction to host a golf tournament to assist with fundraising for the Marvine Ranch Cancer Screening Fund.
