Big week for Cancer Navigators gets bigger:
It started with reports of the proceeds from the 2009 Rome Braves Hot Stove Gathering being earmarked for Cancer Navigators It is ending with news that General Electric is planning to donate $75,000 toward the ongoing operations of the total resource center dedicated to cancer patients and their families. When coupled with the new Breast Center initiative at Floyd Medical Center (story), it puts a fitting end on Northwest Georgia's continuing battle against cancer. We're hoping 2009 brings word of the long-planned cancer center.
