|Direct Award Justification |
|CHASE PROGRAM |
|AGENCY Background |The Georgia Department of Community Health (DCH) was created in 1999 by Senate Bill 241 to serve as the lead agency |
| |for health care planning and purchasing issues in Georgia. DCH is the single state agency for Medicaid and insures |
| |over two million people in the State of Georgia, maximizing the State’s health care purchasing power, coordinating |
| |health planning for State agencies and proposing cost-effective solutions for reducing the number of uninsured. |
| | |
| |Within the Department, the Division of Operations is putting forth an effort to address education, heighten awareness|
| |and network development of breast cancer issues affecting Georgia’s women. Increasing mammography screenings and |
| |other preventive measures, educating the public and networking with other state agencies in this effort will help |
| |decrease the number of breast cancer cases Georgia. |
|Program Overview |In Georgia, breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed and the second leading cause of cancer death among women|
| |in Georgia. Currently it accounts for 32 percent of all female cancer cases. To combat this growing trend the |
| |Georgia Department of Community Health (DCH) Division of Operations has selected breast cancer as a focus area in an |
| |effort to reduce the growing trend. |
| | |
| |The Community Health Awareness Screening and Education for Breast Cancer (CHASE) program grant seeks to support and |
| |partner with the Department of Public Health’s (DPH) Division of Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, Breast and |
| |Cervical Cancer Program (BCCP). The partnership seeks to utilize the BCCP as a vehicle to provide funds for breast |
| |cancer screenings and follow-up. The primary objective of the program will be to provide diagnostic services and |
| |increase the number of uninsured women screened for breast cancer (ages 40 – 49) who are at or below 200% of the |
| |Federal Poverty Guidelines. |
|Award Justification |The Georgia Department of Community Health intends to award the Department of Public Health’s Breast and Cervical |
| |Cancer Program a grant in the amount of $1,000,000 that will target indigent women in an attempt to increase |
| |screenings and awareness of breast cancer issues facing women by promoting education and early detection, to include |
| |mammography and other clinical examinations and/or follow-up, that can be measured to determine that services |
| |contribute to the reduction of breast cancer disparities. |
| | |
| |DCH presents this funding as a direct award in that the DPH Breast and Cervical Cancer Program is limited to |
| |disbursing the funding to the 18 health districts in Georgia. |
|Award(s) |Total Direct Award Funds Available: $ $1,000,00.00 |
