We are an
organization formed and led by breast cancer survivors. Our goal is to
eradicate breast cancer by leading the effort to focus our communities,
research institutions, the news media and consumer advocates on breast
cancer. Like NBCC, the Northern Ohio Breast Cancer Coalition Fund will
work to inform, train and direct breast cancer patients and concerned
others in knowledgeable and effective patient and research advocacy
efforts at all levels. We recognize that the process of curing and
eradicating breast cancer involves access to quality health care,
patient education and support, improved funding for research as well as
consumer awareness. We have an education and advocacy network in the
northern Ohio area and work to educate and assist women living with
breast cancer to achieve the following goals: - To promote research
through increased funding, improved research and recruitment and
training of scientists - To improve access to high-quality screening,
diagnosis, treatment and care for all women, particularly the
underserved and uninsured, through change in the regulation and delivery
of breast health care - To facilitate the involvement and influence of
those living with breast cancer in the northern Ohio area in improving
access to quality health care, as well as involvement in aspects of
clinical trial design, including access to clinical trials
