(MSC News)--Atchison, Jackson and Doniphan Counties have been identified as areas ranking low in breast cancer screenings. To address that concern, Healthy Living Kansas is working to help women in the affected area to make breast health a priority.
That's being done through the Rural Breast Health Initiative, funded by the Susan G. Komen Greater Kansas City office for 2014-2015.
