Legacy Interview: Elizabeth Meyer

South Dakota Hall of Fame Legacy Podcast

In our Newest Legacy Podcast Episode, we were joined by 2016 Inductee Elizabeth "Betty" Meyer to talk about the impact she has had on South Dakotans, and the lives she has saved through her work in Mammography.
2016 Inductee Elizabeth Meyer worked with the first mammography and breast cancer screening program in SD, presenting over 80 educational sessions on American Cancer Society screening mammography guidelines. She then launched the first mobile mammography services available to rural hospitals and clinics in a three-state area. Elizabeth was awarded the “Unsung Hero” honor from the National Conference of State Legislators Women’s Network for heading up state-mandated insurance coverage for mammography screening. Her leadership helped the South Dakota Susan G. Komen Foundation raise one million dollars, providing funding for numerous S.D. breast health programs through the "All Women Count" program.
