Even following Hurricane Katrina, The Mississippi Department of Health has maintained its "green" rating – the highest – from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for readiness to receive, distribute and dispense life-saving medications and medical supplies in the event of an emergency. Mississippi is one of only a handful of states to receive and maintain this status.
"The Mississippi Breast and Cervical Cancer Program is appreciative of the support of the National Breast Cancer Foundation to ensure that women in this state under the age of 50 receive screening mammograms. Due to the overwhelming requests and exhaustion of funds, your donations are very commendable and needed."Melody Fortune, Director
Mississippi Breast And Cervical Cancer Program
