The
Liberty Hospital
Foundation has been awarded a $15,859 Community Project Grant from the Susan G. Komen Foundation of Kansas and Western Missouri. The grant supports the Liberty Hospital Foundation’s Women’s Health Fund.
“The Liberty Hospital Foundation is proud to partner with Liberty Hospital Women’s Imaging on its mission to ensure all women in our community have access to screenings that can save lives,” said Midori Carpenter, CFRE, Foundation Executive Director. “Through this grant, Dr. Amy Patel and her team will be able to offer mammograms, biopsies, transportation, and improved patient navigation to women who otherwise would not be able to afford that care.”
Amy Patel, M.D., a fellowship-trained breast radiologist and Medical Director of Liberty Hospital Women’s Imaging, applied for this grant because, she said, "This grant will help women in our part of the state who desperately need access to breast healthcare. Now, we can help them and mitigate the financial burden and worry they feel which may have previously prevented a woman from seeking treatment. This is just the beginning of building on our efforts to improve access to care."
