On Thursday, January 14, 2010 fifty-two women and two men took the opportunity to be screened. Six of those screened needed urgent referral! The fact that ten (10) percent of those screened needed referral raises serious concern for the Dominica Cancer Society. Nurse Educator Allison Samuel-Llyod and Sr. Cordelia Pierre DJ are carded to be in Boetica on January 19 and Delices on January 28. A closing ceremony of appreciation is also slated for Thursday, 28 January 2010, in the la Plaine Health District. In the meantime, plans are well on its way for the free Cancer Screening to be conducted in the Health District of Portsmouth. The Portsmouth Family Nurse Practitioner and the Espwa (Hope) Cancer Society of Ross University School of Medicine are expected to collaborate in this effort, during the month of February.
