Screening & Diagnostic Services Fund

Do you need a free mammogram? The Virginia Breast Cancer Foundation may be able to help. We have set up a fund to help pay for breast health services.

This program funds screening and diagnostic mammograms, ultrasounds, biopsies, and MRIs for those who do not have insurance or cannot afford the out-of-pocket cost in Southwest Virginia.

Based on the latest breast cancer data, VBCF identified Southwest Virginia is an area of startling need, with late-stage diagnosis trending upward at twice the rate as that of the state of Virginia. Combined with too few health care providers in the region, a higher than average poverty rate, and a high percentage of residents above age 65, as well as access to care barriers such as distance, a lack of transportation providers, limited broadband internet access, and lower health literacy, the region is one in need of breast health emphasis.

Two of VBCF’s signature events, our Power of Pink Luncheon in Roanoke and our Pink 13.1 Bike/Run/Walk in Abingdon raise funds to support this program, with funds raised in Southwest Virginia benefitting Southwest Virginians.

We hope to grow our Screening and Diagnostic Services Fund to other parts of Virginia in the future.  If you are in need of these services and not in Southwest Virginia, click here.
