Take a Free Online Course on Breast Cancer Prevention

More than 800 people have taken the PA Breast Cancer Coalition's free online course as part of the state Department of Public Welfare's Breast and Cervical Cancer Prevention and Treatment Program, which provides free treatment for uninsured and underinsured women battling breast cancer.

The course is available for all who wish to take it, with free continuing education credits available for nurses and social workers.

Real case studies give practical examples of who is eligible for free treatment, how the program works and the overall benefit to the women who are covered through the program.

Those who take the course will have the knowledge necessary to direct women to the program so that they can get the care that they need without worrying about how to pay for it.
