Objective: to provide medical equipment to accomplish bone marrow biopsies in order to diagnose blood cancers
Grenada has hematologists, pathology, and treatment available for most leukemia cancers, but currently, there is no available equipment to perform a bone marrow biopsy.
Grenada averages approximately 50 bone marrow biopsies per year
CCFG will provide Grenada with equipment necessary to complete a basic bone marrow biopsy. Our goal is to provide single-use, disposable bone marrow biopsy kits (50 per year). If single-use kits are not available, we will explore other options for equipment.

Objective: provide free mammograms to the women of Grenada
Mammograms are offered in Grenada, but private pay only
Most advanced breast cancers or breast cancer-related deaths are among women who have never had a mammogram for financial reasons. A mammogram costs $120.00 USD
CCFG will launch a program for donors to sponsor individual mammograms. Mammogram Sponsorship Program funds will be given to the Pink Ribbon Society of Grenada (local breast cancer organization). Individuals in need of mammograms will be approved for this program by Ms. Eunice Baptiste and the Pink Ribbon Society and money would be paid directly to the mammogram proprietor.

Objective: to assist with HPV vaccine administration in Grenada to prevent cervical cancer.
Person of Contact: Community Nurse Coordinator
CCFG will assist with the purchasing, delivery, administration, or outreach to improve cervical cancer prevention.
