It is often said "if it sounds too good to be true it can't be true".  The BESS program of Cancer Services of Grant County is the exception. Operating since 2000, the BESS Program of Cancer Services of Grant County has provided breast health education to thousands of women through one on one interaction, various outreach events, and social media outreach. Thousands of free mammograms have been provided.  

Underserved women in Grant County are provided with a completely comprehensive holistic program that removes all barriers women may face to receive screening as well as navigation throughout the entire process, even if the process includes a diagnosis of breast cancer. The BESS staff facilitates the entire process from the moment they meet a client. To date, 64 women have been diagnosed through this lifesaving program. Transportation assistance is available as needed. Translators are also provided when necessary.
