With support from a Maryland Cigarette Restitution Fund Program, UMGCCC's Baltimore City Cancer Program has provided free cancer screenings and support to nearly 40,000 uninsured local residents since 2001. Linda Adamson of Cherry Hill was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer and received lifesaving treatment through the program in 2012. Today, she and many others fighting cancer credit the Baltimore City Cancer Program’s focus on early intervention with saving their lives. The program has achieved a 93% survival rate among those who have been diagnosed through its services. “I feel like if it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t be here today,” Adamson said.
