  The Breast Cancer Screening Partnership offers free mammograms and cervical and colorectal screenings in addition to risk assessment and genetic testing, a second opinion program, counseling, support groups, and educational programs. Patients diagnosed with breast cancer are given information and are advised regarding treatment options by the Comprehensive Breast Center's multidisciplinary team of specialists, which includes breast surgeons, plastic surgeons, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, and psychiatrists. In order to facilitate screenings, the Partnership uses a mammography van to provide convenient breast cancer screenings to groups of women in their own community.
