‘This cause ... is personal to me’
A personal loss and a desire to help have inspired Roshane Reid-Koomson, executive director of the Jamaica Cancer Society (JCS), to lead a fundraising effort in support of a new mammography machine. The effort began after Reid-Koomson joined the Society on March 24, 2025 and learned that its only mammography machine was nearing the end of its operational life. The machine is now out of service, and the Society has had to suspend its mammography screening service.
