The Asian Breast Health Outreach Project (ABHOP) empowers the Asian community with the knowledge of the benefits of early detection of breast cancer by providing educational seminars and screening mammograms for Asian women. Barriers such as language, fear, lack of information and sometimes means, keep these women from seeking care. Seminars are conducted in the native language of participants by physicians, nurses, or outreach staff and breast health materials are language specific and culturally appropriate. Screening mammograms and referrals are provided at no cost through the Center for Women’s Health at Methodist Richardson Medical Center for low-income, medically underserved Asian women. By minimizing cultural, financial, and language barriers for Asian women, ABHOP increases the number of women participating in screenings for the early detection of breast cancer.
