Review for SUSAN G KOMEN BREAST CANCER FOUNDATION, INC., Dallas, TX, USA
I used to believe that Susan G. Komen foundation truly wanted to increase access to early detection of breast cancer. It is the first bullet point in their impact statement. This increased access was why I volunteered my time because a few family members have had to rely on mammograms provided through local clinics or Planned Parenthood. However, they have shown that they are not truly interested in that with their decision to cut funding for Planned Parenthood on the excuse that Planned Parenthood isn't directly doing the exams. This is just an excuse. This foundation was scared that it would be tainted by an politically motivated smear investigation into Planned Parenthood and has decided that the health of low income women is not as important. I will never volunteer for them again.
