Our Mission
The North Fork Breast Health Coalition (NFBHC)
is working to encourage and assist in the
prevention, early intervention and cure of
breast cancer through advocacy, awareness,
networking and research.
The The North Fork Breast Health Coalition (NFBHC)
is involved in conducting educational
outreach programs at health fairs and other
community forums. Members of our speakers’
bureau provide educational programs at local
schools, churches and civic organizations.
Who We Are
We are a group of concerned citizens working
in conjunction with other community
resources. As a not-for-profit organization,
we have no paid employees, but rather return
all funds raised for services to those
diagnosed with breast cancer on the North
Fork. We are committed to finding an answer
to the high incidence of breast cancer in
our area. Our primary goal is to increase
community awareness of the many issues
involved in the battle against this disease
which kills more than 180,000 women a year
in this country.
What Do We Do?
In addition to helping identify the causes
of breast cancer, our goal is to educate
women about the importance of self-breast
exams and annual mammograms as preventive
measures. Our objective is to have 100% of
the East End female population, age 16+
performing self-breast exams and 100% of the
female population age 40+ receiving annual
mammograms.
