The Center for Asbestos Related Disease (CARD) in Libby has received a new 5-year funding grant from the Agency for Toxic Substances Disease Registry, part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The grant will fund the CARD Clinic’s ongoing asbestos health screening and lung cancer screening programs, as well as both local and national outreach and education efforts.
CARD has received previous iterations of this grant, made possible through the Environmental Health Hazards provision of the Affordable Care Act, since 2011. This new grant, which begins Sept. 1, 2024, will fund ongoing programs as well as innovations expected to improve current processes.
