IS A ONE-OF-A-KIND COMMUNITY-BASED NON-PROFIT AND THE ONLY ORGANIZATION PROVIDING FUNDING FOR NO-COST BREAST SCREENING, DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, SURGERY AND TREATMENT TO LOW-INCOME, UNINSURED RESIDENTS OF SWFL OF ALL AGES. WE HAVE BEEN SERVING LEE COUNTY FOR 32 YEARS. IN 2018, WE EXPANDED OUR SERVICES TO COLLIER, HENDRY, GLADES AND CHARLOTTE COUNTY. WE FUND BREAST CARE PROCEDURES SUCH AS MAMMOGRAM, BREAST ULTRASOUND, NEEDLE BIOPSY, WIRE LOCALIZATION, CYST ASPIRATION, BREAST MRI, DUCTOGRAM, SURGICAL CONSULTATION, SURGICAL BIOPSY, LUMPECTOMY, MASTECTOMY, RADIATION AND CHEMOTHERAPY AT NO COST TO OUR CLIENT. OUR FOCUS IS TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE FOR UNDERSERVED RESIDENTS IN SWFL. MANY WOMEN IGNORE THE NEED TO HAVE A MAMMOGRAM OR TO RECEIVE FURTHER TESTING BECAUSE OF FINANCIAL CONSTRAINTS. OUR CLIENTS BENEFIT BY REDUCING THEIR SUFFERING FROM BREAST CANCER AND WE ARE SAVING LIVES.

THE LIKELIHOOD OF THEIR SURVIVAL IS LESS. AMONG HISPANIC WOMEN NOT ONLY ARE THERE ECONOMIC REASONS WHY THEY DO NOT HAVE MAMMOGRAMS, BUT THERE ARE ALSO CULTURAL ISSUES TO BE OVERCOME. THE US DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES REPORTS THAT TWICE AS MANY AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN DIE OF BREAST CANCER AS WHITE WOMEN BECAUSE OF LATE DIAGNOSIS. DURING OUR 2023-2024 FISCAL YEAR, WE SERVED 489 UNINSURED, LOW-INCOME WOMEN AND MEN AT NO COST TO THEM. WE FUNDED 863 BREAST CARE PROCEDURES AT AN EXPENDITURE OF 149,307.
