Enabling Access to Quality Breast Care and Early Detection

Why BCF?

About

Mission:

To improve access to sub-specialist breast imaging services in underserved areas of Kentucky, enabling early detection and quality standards of care for all.

Financial Transparency:

We are dedicated to fiscal responsibility, showing how all funds are allocated. All funds raised comply with IRS standards and go directly to patient care and program services. Any funds allocated to a clinic must be able to be accountable and traceable to patient benefits. Thus, donors can be assured that their investment creates lasting change in our community.
