DALLAS – March 18, 2020 – Susan G. Komen®, the world’s leading nonprofit breast cancer organization, today suggested healthy women of average risk delay routine breast cancer screening until later this year. The organization stressed that people who are displaying warning signs for breast cancer should contact their health provider to determine their need for diagnostic imaging. Komen made the recommendation to minimize exposure to and potential spreading of COVID-19 and to help support the health care system’s need to focus scarce health care capacity and resources on managing the pandemic and those most in need of support.
The Battle Breast Cancer Boat is Reef Runner’s annual fundraiser for the Miami/Fort Lauderdale chapter of the Susan G. Komen Foundation – an organization dedicated to breast cancer research, education, and access to diagnostic services, screening and treatment. The area non-profit also works to financially assist women and men diagnosed with breast cancer who otherwise could not afford treatment.
