The grant from the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation will support an early intervention program in the city’s Brooklyn borough focused on better outcomes for gastrointestinal diseases and cancers, according to a March 31 news release.

The program plans to expand screening capacity at NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn and the Brooklyn Endoscopy and Ambulatory Surgery Center, focusing on reaching underserved communities. Some of the funds will also expand screening for liver disease.
