Louisville & Jefferson County

Partnership in Cancer Control

KCP started the Louisville & Jefferson County Partnership in Cancer Control in 1994 to increase breast and cervix cancer screening among low income women, particularly African American, in Jefferson County.

This coalition of organizations has secured funds to provide community education, clinical breast exams, screenings, mammograms, and Pap tests. A mobile mammography van travels to public health centers and community locations to reach high risk population groups. Approximately 3,000 women are served annually by the Partnership. For more information, call (502) 852-6318.
