Forsyth County - The Sport of Giving has given Northside Hospital-Forsyth a $22,500 grant for the expansion of breast care services at the hospital. A check was presented to hospital representatives at a Breast Cancer Awareness Month celebration at the hospital in October.
The grant will be applied toward the purchase of a new breast MRI table for the Breast Care Center at the hospital. A portion of the money also will go to printing breast cancer handbooks for patients and families.
