Mission & Focus Areas
The organization states that its mission is to increase survivorship from breast and cervical cancer by providing guided support and access to screening, early detection, treatment, and follow-up care, regardless of a woman’s identity, location, or income.
Its program description says patient navigators conduct outreach and education and facilitate access to screening and early detection. The organization also describes a provider network offering pro bono or reduced-cost treatment and women’s health programs co-located at federally qualified health centers in Palm Beach and Martin counties. Services include mammography, ultrasound, Pap and HPV testing, HPV vaccination, LEEP, and colposcopy.
In 2024, grants went to healthcare and community organizations. For example, Foundcare describes its mission as providing quality healthcare and social services for individuals and families; Genesis Community Health says it provides comprehensive healthcare regardless of ability to pay; and Community Health Center of West Palm Beach describes itself as providing no-cost or low-cost medical and eye care to people without access to those services. These are the grantees’ descriptions of their own missions.
