Op-Ed Partnership with Anthem Foundation

Transportation can't be why people don't get cancer treatment....this is the topic of an op-ed co-authored by Kentucky CancerLink Executive Director, Vicki Blevins-Booth, and Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield Medical Director, Jeff Reynolds. It was published in the Courier-Journal (Louisville) and the Messenger-Inquirer (Owensboro). Click here to read the story.. Transportation assistance is the number 1 request received at Kentucky CancerLink. We work closely with partners and are continually looking for ways to meet this need.

Thank you!

Thank you to the Frankfort Police Department for raising $600 to donate to the mission of Kentucky CancerLink. They had a friendly facial hair competition to see who grew it and wore it best. Over the month of November, officers donated money for permission to have facial hair for the month. Bearded or clean shaven, they are heroes in our eyes!
