A Day for You

Network of Strength

Bringing Breast Health to Underserved

A Day for You is an all-day event where participants learn about earlier detection methods, are taught breast self-examination (BSE) and receive clinical breast exams. Onsite screening mammograms and/or referrals also are available.

Women who live in underserved communities in the following areas are invited to attend A Day for You:

  • Illinois
  • Houston
  • the Mid-Atlantic area
  • Northern California
  • Southern California
    (San Diego and
    Orange County)
  • South Florida

Network of Strength outreach coordinators provide information to the populations they serve—Asian, Latina and African-American —through foreign-language materials and culturally-sensitive details.

Working in conjunction with A Day for You, Friends of Ann & Mimi assists A Day for You participants who need follow-up care after A Day for You. Women are accompanied to appointments, when necessary, so they may arrive feeling informed and confident. For example, if a mammogram indicates the presence of a suspicious area, the outreach coordinator ensures the participant gets the needed follow-up services.

Since 2003, Network of Strength has provided services to more than 12,000 women. If you would like more information, please e-mail contact@networkofstrength.org.
