This award includes a $2,000 grant co-sponsored by GASCO and Georgia CORE! The Matt Mumber Visionary Award and its associated grant of $2000 is presented yearly by the Cancer Patient Navigators of Georgia (CPNG) to a Georgia resident, program or organization that has demonstrated an appreciation of the essential role of patient navigators, Community Health Workers (CHW) and/or promoters in effective and compassionate cancer prevention and treatment.
