Are you looking to obtain a mammogram, find a doctor or an organization to help you obtain what you need for breast health?  Browse the
Breast Health Resource Directory
for Martin and St. Lucie counties, Florida to find services and support.

The Breast Health Coalition of Martin and St. Lucie Counties is proud to present the Breast Health Resource Directory.  The purpose of this Directory
is to offer "one-stop shopping" for those seeking breast health information and resources. 

For more information on the Breast Health Coalition >>


The Breast Health Coalition is seeking women and men with breast cancer (or any type of cancer) who have been prescribed oral chemotherapy agents but were unable to obtain the chemo-medication due their medical insurance denying coverage or having a high co-pay. We need your stories to submit to Susan G. Komen to help support the “Cancer Drug Parity Act of 2009”. These stories are desperately needed as soon as possible to submit to our Florida legislators who are working on this bill.

Your inquiries will be kept strictly confidential.
