In 2019, we were able to provide 800 colorectal screenings tests and 1769 mammograms and breast screenings at no cost to the patients. This does not include insured patients who would not have been referred to screenings without our programs, making our impact larger. All told, last year, we served 17,425 people directly through screenings, education, navigation, cancer survivor and patient support services, cancer survivor and patient wellness services (massage therapy, skincare, etc.), cancer survivor exercise classes and support groups. These figures reflect the EGCC’s direct impact, but the overall impact is greater. Our patients are referred to other resources through our partnerships with hospitals, local practices, and other cancer organizations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f298dbe0812a36101e4741c/1596736480945-NK24M3FCNDDTJUR87H0R/60316937_2119449314819445_2280761615680798720_o.jpg Home - What We Do.

The race is also an opportunity to honor the families who journeyed with their loved ones through doctor’s appointments, treatments and all the changes cancer brings. Miles for Moms recognizes those who have faced all cancer types because the East Georgia Cancer Coalition does not limit its services or focus to one type of cancer. We are a resource for all cancer types. Immediately following the race we host a health expo in an effort to increase awareness of cancers and screenings. The expo features health related organizations who provide screenings not limited to cancer and vendor tables from our business related supporters in the community as well as children’s activities. Proceeds from the event go towards the program costs of prevention, education and screening related to cancer as well as ensuring we can continue to bring the latest cancer related information to the residents of our 53 county region. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f298dbe0812a36101e4741c/1612457330708-SS19IQ5163TQIRT6B4JR/Cancer+Wellness+Class+Success+Story+2019.jpg Programs - Building Strength and Community through Exercise Training. In January 2018, the East Georgia Cancer Coalition began implementing an exercise program specialized for cancer survivors and their needs. As there are over 355,870 survivors in the state of Georgia, (cancer.org, 2014), an exercise program specifically for cancer survivors to help improve both their physical well-being and their overall quality of life could have an impact on a significant proportion of survivors. “This class makes me feel more motivated, stronger physically. I’m getting older, but at the same time, I’m feeling stronger” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f298dbe0812a36101e4741c/1612457401919-08M1QOPFS702ZIIDWWDT/Survivors+luncheon+success+story+final.jpg Programs - One Step at a Time Survivor Luncheon. The East Georgia Cancer Coalition and the Georgia Cancer Center co-sponsored a Survivor Luncheon in Augusta, Georgia during Cancer Survivor month. The program was designed to nourish the mind, body, and spirit of cancer survivors and caregivers from East Georgia by offering panel discussion and various workshops. “I enjoyed meeting/fellowshipping with other survivors and hearing their story.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f298dbe0812a36101e4741c/1612457441793-5GI905BRWC9EKBWFY563/Cooking+101+Success+Story.jpg Programs - Cooking 101. Cooking 101 is a program designed to teach school aged children and teenagers who come from low-income homes how to cook healthy meals that are also affordable a 6-week long program for teenagers taught by an instructor who led the classes in hands on cooking of a healthy meal. “Kinsley really enjoyed the cooking class. She has been making us stuff from her recipes. Yesterday was her dad's birthday and she made him the apple crisp. It was very good!” -Kinsley’s Mom https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f298dbe0812a36101e4741c/1612457499251-YIYDCTFHJ70NGQVC5DUJ/CLIMB+success+story+Final.jpg Programs - CLIMB – Support groups in East Georgia for Parents with Cancer and their Children. The child and parent support groups provided children and teens who have a parent with cancer with a 6-week long program called CLIMB® (Children’s Lives Include Moments of Bravery). The two-hour session each week was taught by social workers trained to help children ages 6-17 years old understand cancer and manage the stresses of having a parent with cancer. “(The part of the CLIMB® program I liked the best was) talking to other kids and knowing that I'm not the only one with this situation.” – Child https://www.eastgeorgiacancercoalition.org/resources-1 daily 0.75 2022-08-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f298dbe0812a36101e4741c/1596744268112-Y9RXP3EFW5GK94WNOAPS/Screen+Shot+2020-08-06+at+4.03.26+PM.png Resources - Priorities of the Georgia Cancer Plan Each year, members of the Georgia Cancer Control Consortium come together to create a list of priorities to guide cancer-fighting organizations year-to-year in an effort to fight cancer on a united front. https://www.eastgeorgiacancercoalition.org/spanish-crc-guidebook daily 0.75 2023-04-14 https://www.eastgeorgiacancercoalition.org/store daily 0.75 2023-08-30
