Parkland’s Breast Health Outreach Initiative began in 1990 to provide breast cancer screening, prevention and intervention services to Dallas County residents. This program embodies Parkland’s mission to serve the uninsured, underinsured and medically underserved women in Dallas County who might otherwise not receive this critical health service and education. Through its mobile mammography unit, Parkland provides mammography screenings, case management and breast education. The success of the program is attributed to the opportunity for the mobile unit to go directly into the neighborhoods of underserved women to make preventive care more readily accessible, to remove any economic barriers, to detect breast cancer in its earliest stages and to refer patients for further treatment if needed.
