Mission Statement
The Bridge Breast Network saves lives by providing access to diagnostic and treatment services for breast cancer to low income, uninsured and underinsured individuals in North Texas.
About This Cause
Since 1992, BBN Breast Network has worked tirelessly at the mission of saving lives by providing low-income (up to 250% above the poverty guidelines), uninsured women with diagnostic and treatment services for breast cancer. Our program has been a bridge of hope for many uninsured North Texans, and the premise that no woman should suffer in silence with breast cancer because she lacks the financial resource still remains the foundation of our program. Founded in 1992, the agency has served more than 200,000 individuals with lifesaving information and medical care. The Bridge Breast Network is a unique nonprofit agency that includes education, detection and breast cancer treatment services and survivorship assistance. Clients receive mammograms, sonograms, and biopsies. Our treatment services include surgery, oncology (chemotherapy), radiation and one year follow-up for individuals in a 28-county service area in North Texas. Our program also provides survivorship services such as wigs, mastectomy and lymphedema products to improve the quality of life during and after treatment. For every dollar donated, Bridge Breast Network clients receive nearly 10 times that amount in medical care. Hundreds of physicians and medical facilities volunteer their professional services or drastically reduce their fees to make such a large discount possible. The program offers quality breast health services for our clients—uncompromised by the client’s ability to pay. Annually, the North Texas medical community donates over $6.0 million in medical services to our clients. This enables the program to provide early-stage breast cancer treatment for under $20,000. Thank you for helping us to build a bridge from diagnosis to treatment and together we are saving lives.
