PENSACOLA, FLA. (Nov. 5, 2024) – Baptist Health Care Foundation continues to work with community partners and donors year-round to help raise funds and awareness about the Foundation’s Mammogram Fund. During this year’s campaign, the Foundation raised more than $117,500 to benefit its Mammogram Fund, which provides mammograms to uninsured individuals in our communities.

The mammogram program remains vitally important as Baptist continues to eliminate barriers to those in need of these lifesaving screenings. Over the past 15 years, the Foundation’s Mammogram Fund has provided screenings to 2,947 patients. As a result of these screenings, 792 patients required additional testing, 100 required biopsies and 32 were diagnosed with breast cancer.

The Foundation would like to thank their community partners: Pensacola Breast Cancer Association, Pink Ribbon Pensacola, Pink Pirates of Navarre, Local Honda Dealers, The Grand Marlin Pensacola Beach, Jewelers Trade Shop and Oyster Bay Boutique Hotel, as well as all donors for supporting this initiative.
