NBCF partners with medical facilities across the United States to provide screening, diagnostic, and patient navigation services. Partner medical facilities are committed to providing breast cancer patients with the care they need at each step of the journey - early detection education, diagnosis, and survivorship. Finding breast cancer early is critical to survival, but many patients cant afford the cost of screening or diagnostic tests. By providing these services through our network of medical partners and nonprofit organizations, NBCF helps provide equal access to early detection services for uninsured or underinsured patients. Patient navigators guide patients through and around the barriers of cost, fear, and misinformation in the complex cancer care system, delivering timely diagnosis, treatment, and support.
