Komen Inland Empire and Cancer Detection Partnership will be offering free mammogram and clinical breast exam screenings in the Inland Empire for the 2013-2014 year.

The YWCA Early Breast Cancer Screening and Education Outreach helps by promoting early access to care for women who often experience obstacles to care, late stage treatment due to lack of medical insurance. The focus is on African American and Mexican American, Hispanic or Latina women who are uninsured and live 200% below the poverty level.
The Inland Empire has the highest rate of late stage breast cancer diagnosis in Southern California. Susan G. Komen has funded our outreach program and we will provide 660 uninsured or underserved women with early breast cancer screenings.
The YWCA of North Orange County is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom, dignity for all. They are the oldest and the largest mobile, multicultural, neighborhood early breast cancer screening program in Orange County, providing over 140 screenings in over 56 neighborhoods; and we are very excited that this program is being implemented in the (San Bernardino County) Inland Empire.
