Cancer Prevention Initiatives

Mobile Outreach Service:

The Marie Keating Foundation focuses on raising awareness of all of the common cancers affecting men and women in Ireland and on the healthy lifestyle choices that reduce the risk of cancer. The Marie Keating Foundation’s nursing team visits locations on three purpose-built mobile information units all around Ireland to bring their life-saving messages of prevention and early detection to as many people as possible. The service is free of charge to community groups, schools and colleges.
