• SPH Secures PACELINE Grant, Investigator Shares His Own Cancer Journey (augustaceo.com) — Researchers are launching a cancer survivorship study centered on rural Greensboro in Greene County, aiming to understand how distance, cost, and limited services affect follow-up care for local patients. Using a $50,000 PACELINE grant, they'll interview residents and providers, explore telehealth and patient navigators, and use the findings to seek larger federal funding that could expand services in Greensboro and similar rural Georgia communities.
