BCEA is working to improve breast cancer screening rates and health outcomes, however, there is still a lot of work to do: education and resources are key to improving equity in screening, treatment, and outcomes. BCEA mission is to educate the community through support and information and we support through community involvement and shared resources with partners: including:
• Breast Cancer Champions and BCEA volunteers provide community outreach and education
• Sage Cancer Screening Program provides cancer screening at no cost for the uninsured
Information is shared through:
• Community events and health fairs
• Webinars
• Annual Conference - Oct. 14, 2023 at the Wilder Center, St. Paul
