Mission Statement: Our goal is to empower local communities at the grassroots level through the Breast Cancer Hub (BCH). We want to create positive change and make their voices heard. We focus on studying community awareness about breast cancer, screening processes, and accessibility. We aim to eliminate social stigma around breast cancer, particularly in underprivileged communities. Our aim is to encourage more people to get mammograms, ultrasounds, and do self-breast exams. We also want to promote early detection by encouraging women and men to seek clinical exams. With BCH our mission is to make a big positive impact and help those with fewer opportunities.
