Baptist Health Foundation was recently awarded $125,000 in grants from the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) for women’s health and oncology initiatives. This funding will provide life-saving care and preventative care for underserved patients in Arkansas.
An extension of the 2025 partnership, the 2026 award brings the NBCF’s two-year funding total to $323,000 allowing Baptist Health to bring access to care for even more women in the state.
The funding awarded from the NBCF is for two different programs, the Patient Navigation Program and for the National Mammography Program.
The Patient Navigation grant funds help patients and families navigate through the breast cancer services continuum of care, from outreach through treatment completion and survivorship.
The National Mammography Program provides screening and diagnostic services to medically underserved individuals that include routine and diagnostic mammograms and ultrasounds.
Free mammograms and breast imaging services for qualified patients are available at Baptist Health Breast Centers and Medical Centers across Arkansas.
To learn more about receiving free mammograms and breast imaging services, call Baptist Health’s nurse navigator at (501) 202-7359.
