$750,000 Project Purple grant helps Hartford HealthCare with pancreatic cancer screenings
HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — Project Purple is taking on one of the most deadly cancers known — pancreatic cancer.

Early detection is critical, yet no reliable screening method has existed until now. Thanks to a groundbreaking $750,000 grant announced last fall, Project Purple is six months into a transformative effort to change that reality. Dino Varrelli, founder and CEO of Project Purple, joined Good Morning Connecticut at 9 a.m. to discuss. Watch the video above to learn more. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
