Local Resources

Learning about breast cancer and early detection is our best weapon against the disease.

The Susan G. Komen for the Cure has an award-winning Web site, www.komen.org, which offers the latest breast health and breast cancer information, as well as Komen for the Cure news and activities.

In addition, the Organization's National Toll-Free Breast Helpline, 1-877 GO KOMEN® (1-877-465-6636), is answered by trained and caring staff and volunteers that provide response to questions, local resource information and moral support. The Helpline is committed to providing timely and accurate information to anyone with breast health and breast cancer concerns, including breast cancer patients and their family and friends. The Helpline does not provide medical advice, make referrals to physicians, or evaluate physicians, medical facilities or services.

New National Underinsured Resource Directory
The Patient Advocate Foundation (PAF) has launched a new National Underinsured Resource Directory, an interactive, personalized resource directory for patients, caregivers and healthcare providers. This directory is intended to help underinsured individuals and families locate important resources and seek alternative coverage options or methods to assist with their healthcare needs. Susan G. Komen for the Cure® currently partners with PAF in providing grant funding for their Co-Pay Relief Program (CPR).  To read more about the new resource directly, visit:  http://patientadvocate.org/help4u.php.
