Kentucky Women's Cancer Screening Program

10/22/2026

It's always a great day when you're spending it with dedicated partners working together for a great cause. Thanks to everyone for making it happen.

We had a successful mammography screening for employees on the backside of Keeneland on Monday, with 20 women screened for breast cancer!

Pictured are representatives from Kentucky Department of Public Health and Kentucky Women's Cancer Screening Program, Keeneland Chaplaincy Program, Kentucky Cancer Program, and UofL Health Brown Cancer Center.

Meet Jillian. Jillian reached out to us a couple years back and thankfully we were able to make the connection to get her the help she needed as she began her journey against breast cancer.
Jillian lives with metastasized stage 4 cancer and admits she has good days and bad, but she makes sure NOBODY has to face this fight alone.
Today Jillian hosted the second annual More Than Pink event in Louisville. Hearing stories and celebrating dozens of women at various stages of their own journey against cancer is powerful in ways words simply cannot adequately explain.
But, through it all, Jillian's tireless work has accomplished exactly what she said (and hoped) it would - nobody has to fight breast cancer alone.
