Advocating for Improved Access to Essential Breast Care

Women with dense breast tissue need essential, life-saving screenings in addition to mammograms. Essential screenings, such as ultrasounds or MRI's, are the only ways to maximize the chances of finding early, more curable breast cancers in dense tissue. Mammograms alone are not enough.

Often these essential tests are not fully covered by insurance. They come with high out of pocket costs. These costs deny many women access to the lifesaving screenings they need and deserve.

During this webinar experts will equip you with the knowledge and power to persuade your state representatives to pass laws to ensure that all women have access to these lifesaving screenings.

Learning objectives:

Learn about breast cancer risks associated with dense breast tissue

Discover how access to life saving, essential screenings can improve outcomes

Hear from clinicians, patients, and advocates on how they took action with their state legislators to increase awareness and improve access to essential screenings

Be equipped to take action for yourself, friends, and family in your state
