CANCER CONTROL SPOTLIGHT
Among women in South Carolina, breast cancer was the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death from 2010-2014. To counter low screening rates, South Carolina's Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) developed a worksite cancer screening initiative. Learn more about this program from Action4PSEChange.org.
