Press release from the issuing company
Tuesday, March 18th, 2014
Last fall, the American Society for Radiation Oncology selected South Georgia Medical Center’s Pearlman Cancer Center to receive ASTRO’s 2013 Survivor Circle grant. As a grant recipient, the Pearlman Cancer Center was one of two Georgia hospitals selected to receive $8,000 to provide direct support for cancer patients. Physicians and staff identified a need for grant money to help patients with head and neck cancers as well as other cancer patients who need dental care. The program provides up to $500 per patient for dental services, particularly in preparation for cancer treatment. As a result of the process, and through the helpful consideration of Advanced Dental Care, the first patient has been treated with grant funds.
