October 12, 2004: Alaska: Juneau nurse honored nationally for local effort to change policies on cancer care:"Health activist: Carole Edwards is a local semi-retired nurse who has been honored by the Oncology Nursing Society for her advocacy for cancer prevention.
Carole Edwards found it unfair that her husband had to pay for prostate cancer screening while many insurance companies covered mammograms.
The Juneau nurse spoke out and soon changed state law. For that and other advocacy efforts, she recently won the Oncology Nursing Society's first excellence award."
