National Breast Center Foundation

The National Breast Center Foundation will improve the lives of women by removing barriers that prevent them from getting proper screening, diagnosis and education about breast cancer.

The National Breast Center Foundation can address this crisis through Education, Access, and Technology:

• EDUCATE women and physicians in the surrounding community about breast cancer and treatment options available.

• INCREASE ACCESS to breast cancer screening, treatment, and supportive services for underprivileged and uninsured/under-insured women in the community. 

• IMPLEMENT TECHNOLOGY to provide high quality screening and treatment services in order to detect breast cancer at earlier stages, which will save more lives and, ultimately, reduce healthcare costs.

Tools exist today that improve the diagnostics and treatment of breast cancer, but most women either aren't offered these options or don't have access to places they are provided.

The National Breast Center will work with local community health programs/clinics to identify women and provide them with access to the screening and treatment they need.
