Mission
The Community Mammography Access Project's mission is to institutionalize a reliable mobile screening mammography program for our member community health centers to increase access to mammography services and reduce late stage breast cancer diagnosis among medically underserved women in Santa Clara County through the collaborative effort of community based mobile mammography services and an existing safety net of healthcare providers.

Objective/Purposes
The primary objective and purposes of the Community Mammography Access Project shall be:

• To provide culturally and linguistically appropriate breast cancer education, screening and referral services.
• To work in collaboration with the network of community-based health centers, Santa Clara Valley Health and Hospital System, and existing safety net of healthcare providers.
• To develop and implement a standardized breast health delivery model for member clinics, building in a comprehensive patient tracking, reporting and follow up system.
