Our diverse culturally competent programs are designed to meet the needs of a wide variety of audiences and are customized to fit the scope of the event and the audiences we will be serving.

Outreach

DBCC staff and trained volunteers regularly share information at community events, health and wellness fairs, and conferences. It is our objective to empower our communities to take responsibility for their health by providing education, support, and resources to live and maintain healthy lifestyles to help reduce their risk of breast cancer.

The Women’s Health Screening Program operated by the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition provides centralized patient navigation services to help patients schedule and obtain cancer screenings. This program expands accessibility to mammography and other health screening sites throughout the state to reach diverse populations and increase the percentage of uninsured and underinsured women receiving cancer screening services in Delaware.

The Multi-Cultural Connection (MCC) is a community outreach health and wellness program run by the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition. Each MCC event is free and open to the public. MCC events often take place at a community partner facility which allows community members to stop by at any point to learn about breast health and healthy living.

Services available at prior MCC events include mammography scheduling, flu shots, oral exams, clinical breast exams, HIV testing, and screenings for blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes testing.

Love Your Breast events are held across Delaware to provide access to receive a free clinical breast exam by a licensed medical professional.

DBCC patient navigators assist these clients with accessing coverage for their screening, scheduling their appointment, and providing transportation and interpretation services when needed.

Education

The Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition (DBCC) can partner with your organization at no cost to provide the following information, resources, and services. Our staff has worked with corporations, businesses, factories, elder care and special needs care facilities, schools, and more.

To accomplish our mission and serve the communities we live and work in, we have developed, adapted, and implemented a variety of programs and resources to educate our communities about breast health, breast cancer, risk factors, how to reduce your risks, and the importance of screenings for early detection!

Yes2Health is a multifaceted program that offers a variety of different groups and activities that help foster healthy shifts for healthier lifestyles and reduced chronic risk of disease.

Let’s work together

Breast Health Presentations

DBCC has the ability to provide breast health education in person, via Zoom, or through a pre-recorded video. Our breast health presentations teach audiences the basics of breast anatomy, how breast cancer forms, how breast cancer is treated, how to understand their personal risk of breast cancer, and how to reduce their risk of breast cancer.

Lunch & Learn Meetings

Meetings usually occur during the organization’s lunch hour and the organization typically provides lunch for their employees or guests to enjoy during the presentation. The lunch and learn meetings are presented by DBCC staff. Each presentation includes a brief overview of DBCC’s programs and services followed by either an intro or an in-depth Breast Health Awareness Presentation.

Screening Days

DBCC plans and organizes specific screening day(s) and time windows at local imaging centers for the partner organization’s employees to obtain their routine mammograms. DBCC can provide certified medical interpretation for patients as well as patient transportation to and from the screenings as needed.

DBCC’s Pink Folders

DBCC’s Pink folders are for patients newly diagnosed with breast cancer. Pink folders are a toolkit of resources and information on DBCC programs, financial aid, support groups, and local resources available.

These folders are often the first resource someone in Delaware receives during their diagnosis appointment.
