Jeannie Blaylock Career
She is the first person in Jacksonville to receive the prestigious Peabody Award, which recognizes her pioneering work in the development of Buddy Check 12, which has saved the lives of thousands of First Coast women and men. Buddy Check 12 has promoted self-exams and mammograms since 2002. A mammogram can detect pre-cancer as small as a grain of sand, but nearly half of all women do not have regular mammograms. Jeannie wanted to change that, so she collaborated with Baptist Health and MD Anderson to raise over a million dollars for the purchase of the “Buddy Bus,” a mobile mammography unit. Jeannie has inspired dozens of cities across the country to replicate Buddy Check 12 and encourage women to detect breast cancer early.
Jeannie believes in giving back to the community. Her “Apple Project” in 2014 aided in the construction of a free dental clinic on Timuquana Road. She was also the first reporter on the First Coast News team to cover K9s For Warriors, an organization that trains service dogs to assist veterans with PTSD. According to Jeannie, the group has a 99 percent success rate in preventing suicides.
Her journalism work has taken her to a number of different countries. Jeannie’s reports from Haiti sparked donations for earthquake victims, resulting in the provision of new prosthetic legs to over a hundred amputees. She covered the 75th anniversary of D-Day live from the beaches of Normandy. Thousands of students have been invited by school districts to watch the First Coast News documentary on D-Day, which is helping to educate them about the day and its history.
