McEachin announces HHS grant to VCU for cancer research

Congressman A. Donald McEachin (VA-04) announced a grant award of $77,625 from the Department of Health and Human Services to Virginia Commonwealth University for cancer treatment research.

“As a cancer conqueror, I am very pleased to see this funding,” said Congressman Donald McEachin. “In 2017, cancer was the leading cause of death for Virginians with over 15000 people succumbing to the disease. This is vitally important, potentially life-saving research. Finding more and better cancer treatments for more successful outcomes will make such a difference in people’s lives and, frankly, for the overburdened healthcare system.”
