Mobile Mammography Unit
Help us raise $660,250 by December 30, 2026 to fund this life-saving screening tool for women in underserved communities.
Help bring life-saving breast cancer screenings to women in Central Texas
Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women in the United States—and early detection saves lives. But for many women in rural Central Texas, getting a mammogram isn’t as simple as scheduling an appointment. Long wait times, limited transportation, financial barriers and a lack of nearby clinics prevent thousands of women—especially African American and Hispanic women—from receiving routine screenings.
You can change that.
A mobile unit that brings care to her doorstep
The Central Texas Breast Cancer Screening Initiative and the Peace of Mind Program are expanding access to early detection by taking care on the road. With a new mobile mammography unit, medical teams will deliver screenings directly to women across 12 underserved counties.
Over the next three years, your generosity will help us:
- Educate 20,000 women about the importance of breast cancer screening
- Provide personalized support to 4,000 women overdue for mammograms
- Complete 4,000 mammograms in clinics and on the mobile unit
Why this matters now
Our Central Texas clinics are operating at capacity, with mammography appointments booked out up to five months—a delay that puts lives at risk. Many women also live more than 20 miles from the nearest screening facility.
The mobile unit eliminates these barriers by:
- Targeting areas with breast cancer incidence and mortality rates higher than the state average
- Bringing mammograms to rural communities from Bosque and Hill Counties down to Williamson, Burnet, and Lee Counties
- Partnering with local churches and community organizations to reach those who might otherwise go without screening
This is just the beginning
As the program grows, it will offer additional preventive services to rural communities, such as colorectal, prostate, and lung cancer screenings, as well as blood pressure checks and Pap smears.
We need your support to make it happen
A generous $1.5 million grant has launched this effort, but we must raise $610,000 more by December 30, 2026 to put the mobile unit on the road and sustain its services.
Your gift will:
- Remove financial and geographic barriers to cancer screening
- Provide culturally tailored education and navigation
- Ensure early detection and timely follow‑up care
- Help save the lives of women who might otherwise go without care
No woman should face breast cancer alone.
Together, we can expand access to life-saving screenings for women throughout Central Texas.
