Dear friends of Komen Michigan,
I’m excited to share with you a summary of 2016, a year in which we were able to help over 85,000 women in Michigan get access to breast cancer education, screening, diagnostic tests and survivorship programs that were not covered by any insurance carrier, other nonprofit organization, nor government program in Michigan.
We have been able to do great things this year, yet I’m still unfulfilled that we haven’t been able to do more. Based on current statewide statistics, we only covered approximately 24% of the population that needs our help the most, the uninsured, underinsured, rural and minority populations. This resulted in more late-stage diagnoses and deaths from breast cancer. In fact, 30% of breast cancer diagnoses in Michigan are still considered “late stage,” when the disease is more difficult and costly to treat, not to mention more deadly. Over 1,400 women will die from breast cancer in Michigan this year, with approximately 450 of them living in the 24 counties we cover. This is not acceptable.
This is what we do:
- We save lives through our own outreach, education, and programs.
- We eliminate barriers to access; be it language, financial, culture, transportation or location.
- We fund breast health programs at local healthcare institutions to ensure all women and men are able to get screened.
- We invest in the best and brightest breast cancer researchers in the world.
As an independent 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with a local board of directors, we are well-positioned to shift and cover breast health gaps in our communities as they arise. If breast cancer has touched your life like it has mine, I hope you’ll take the time to get to know our organization and find a place on our team in our ongoing fight. With your help, we will achieve our goal of reducing the number of breast cancer deaths in Michigan by 50% by 2026, our Bold Goal and commitment to you.
With gratitude and with hope for a future where no one dies from breast cancer,
Chuck Christmas, President, Board Of Directors Executive Vice President & CFO, Mercantile Bank of Michigan

Quite simply, until we find the cure for breast
cancer, there will always be a need for Komen
Michigan. The social determinants of health will
always put certain groups at a higher risk of dying
from breast cancer. By helping remove the stigma
and fear of saying “breast cancer” out loud, to
paying for screening mammograms, and covering
insurance deductibles for women under 40, we
adapt and evolve to support the changing needs
of our community.
Komen Michigan conducts an in-depth
assessment of the breast health needs in our
community every three years with annual updates.
We call it the Community Profile and it’s always
available on our website. Through this work, we
identify target communities for our programs
using analysis of population-based breast cancer
data including incidence rates, how many breast
cancers are diagnosed at an advanced stage, and
death rates by region and ethnicity.
WHY DO WE NEED KOMEN MICHIGAN?

Our Current PrioritiesSCREENING ACCESS
Increase access to breast cancer
screening and diagnostics by reducing
fi nancial, individual, and other barriers
to help make care accessible for all.
Priority populations include low-income,
uninsured and underinsured, African
American, Hispanic/Latino, rural, and
high-risk women under 40.
CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE EDUCATION
Create, manage and fi nancially
support strong community education,
outreach, and navigation programs
focused on dispelling myths, reducing
fears, and providing support services
related to breast cancer. This includes
navigation and barrier-reduction
programs (e.g. co-pays, deductibles,
transportation, child care etc.) to
connect clients to screening services.
Priority populations include African
American, Hispanic/Latino, and rural.
SURVIVORSHIP PROGRAMS
Increase availability of programs
serving survivors with a focus on social
and emotional wellbeing, wellness
programs, and lifestyle intervention
strategies to reduce the risk of breast
cancer recurrence.

Our Local Health Care Partners
Michigan’s healthcare landscape has evolved with the
launch of the Affordable Care Act, the Healthy Michigan
Plan, and the State Innovation Model. Throughout these
changes, Susan G. Komen Michigan remains a trusted
funding resource for underserved individuals. Federal
and state-funded programs will now be able to assist
uninsured or underinsured women between the ages
of 40 and 64 who have an income at or below 250% of
the federal poverty level.
While this represents a large population, women with
incomes above the stated guideline but still considered
impoverished, including women under 40, will not
have access to these funds. Symptomatic women and
men often forego expensive diagnostic services like
biopsies, preventing the opportunity to seek treatment
and increasing the risk of a later stage, life-threatening
diagnosis. To better serve this population of women,
Komen Michigan partners with local organizations to
provide quality breast health education and services.
Each year, an independent volunteer review committee
comprised of local public health constituents selects
the most promising applications for funding. The fiscal
year 2016 enabled Komen Michigan to invest $552,665
in major grants for community programs, and $60,665
in small grants.

Susan G. Komen
Michigan remains commit-
ted to empowering and
educating our community
through ongoing process
improvements to the pa-
tient care continuum, which
supports those diagnosed
with breast cancer and local
health system change. Our
new initiative, Mission on
the Move, combines the
best practices created by
our local program partners
with Komen outreach tools,
to increase visibility and im-
pact. Our goal is to increase
the number of men and
women impacted by 10%
through this initiative; allow-
ing us to reach over 87,000
people this year. As a result
of this launch, Komen Mich-
igan will continue to fund
programs that matter, save
lives locally, and eliminate
barriers, which normally
impedes access to care.
Our rural outreach and
screening initiative. For rural
women, transportation can
be a major barrier. Crys-
tal Flash and other great
companies are helping us
reach women in rural Mich-
igan. With every propane
delivery, we’re bringing
breast health education and
the chance to sign up for a
mammogram at local com-
munity centers.
CULTURALLY
APPROPRIATE EDUCATION
MISSION INITIATIVES
FUELING THE CURE
PINK IN THE PEWS
Our faith-based education
program. Many cultures are
hesitant to seek preventative
health measures as they feel
it conflicts with their faith.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of
Michigan is helping us reach
African American and His-
panic women in the places
they worship. Pink in the
Pews uses a biblical basis
to present breast health to
congregations.
Our community health
worker training program.
Language and cultural bar-
riers prevent many women
from accessing the services
they need. We are creat-
ing an education outreach
and training program to
connect African American
and Hispanic women with
breast health services in
their communities, and to
support their diagnosis and
treatment through our large
healthcare systems.
