By detecting breast cancer at an early stage, when patients have more effective therapy options, regular screening mammograms can reduce mortality rates by 40%. Unfortunately, not all women have easy access to these lifesaving exams. But Susan G. Komen Founder Nancy G. Brinker wants to change that by helping women in underserved communities overcome barriers to mammography screening through her non-profit organization, the Promise Fund of Florida.
This case study for the American College of Radiology, as part of the ACR’s Imaging 3.0 initiative to highlight the value of radiology, explores the Promise Fund’s unique patient navigation model that leverages a network of local care providers and community resources to guide women through their breast health journey.
