Oral Cancer Foundation to donate screening devices to free clinics

Phoenix’s Native American Community Health Center Is First Recipient of adjunctive screening system Newport Beach, CA - October 5, 2009 The Oral Cancer Foundation recently initiated a program of donating VELscope Oral Cancer Screening Systems to free clinics and others located in, and helping communities with, underserved populations. The first recipient of this program is the Native American Community Health Center, commonly known as Native Heath, in Phoenix, Arizona, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. According to Oral Cancer Foundation executive director Brian Hill, “Our intent is to identify free clinics and health service providers in areas that have a high concentration of people who are both at risk for oral cancer and without the financial means to pay for comprehensive oral exams.” The Foundation is also careful to ensure that any clinic receiving aid in the form of equipment and materials has at least one dentist on staff that is regularly present to see patients. Native Health’s Dental Director, Dr. Mahasin Hangalay, believes it would be hard to find an area with a greater need for regular oral cancer screenings. “The Native American community that we serve has the highest rate of tobacco usage of any major demographic group in the country,” she said, “as well as an extremely high poverty rate and very poor access to health care.” The doctor also noted that because of the reported link between oral cancer and the sexually transmitted human papilloma virus, screenings at the clinic are not just provided to tobacco users, but [...]

Paltrow spearheads cancer campaign

Source: ShanghaiDaily.com Author: Marc Karimzadeh Raising money to fight cancer is very close to Gwyneth Paltrow's heart - which is why she was happy to become the sixth Oscar-winning actress to champion a major cause, writes Marc Karimzadeh. Gwyneth Paltrow is painfully familiar with cancer. Her father, Bruce, died of complications from the disease in 2002, and the actress says many of her friends have been diagnosed with cancer. Some are still fighting it. So Paltrow jumped at the chance when the Entertainment Industry Foundation approached her to become the 2008 ambassador for its annual Key to the Cure campaign in conjunction with Saks Fifth Avenue. "If there is anything I can do to help raise money, especially with a charity like this, I will," Paltrow said. "I read about the charity and how aggressively they are trying to find a cure, not only for women's cancers but also for other cancers. They support people who are coming up with innovative ideas to cure cancer." Paltrow added that the initiative will also donate money to the Bruce Paltrow Oral Cancer Fund. She is the sixth Oscar-winning actress to become the ambassador to the KTTC program. This year, Karl Lagerfeld created a special T-shirt to benefit the initiative. The 2008 effort also marks a milestone for Saks Fifth Avenue. It's the 10th anniversary of Saks' charity shopping event, which, in conjunction with its vendors and partners, has raised more than US$28 million for cancer institutions. Saks first partnered with the Council [...]
