(Covington) -- The CARE Network of Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center recently received $5,000 from the Rich Mauti Cancer Fund to help finance a cancer screening in St. Tammany Parish.
"Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center is doing an incredible service by reaching out to the local community providing free cancer screenings and evaluations," said Mauti. "They extend our mission to educate, screen and bring awareness to early detection of cancer. We are thrilled to help fund a small part of their efforts."
As a thank you, Board members of the Rich Mauti Cancer Fund were invited to attend a breast cancer screening in Mandeville hosted by Mary Bird Perkins' CARE Network and Woman's Hospital. Additional guests included employees of the Stone Creek Country Club and Spa as the free screening was made possible by the Rich Mauti Cancer Fund's tennis tournament at Stone Creek.
Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center has been fighting cancer for over 35 years with locations in Baton Rouge, Covington, Hammond, Houma and Gonzales. It has comprehensive cancer programs with Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center in Baton Rouge and St. Tammany Parish Hospital in Covington. These programs are accredited by the American College of Surgeons -- the gold standard for community-based cancer care. For more information visit www.marybird.org.
