“High Desert / Victor Valley Breast Health Program”

The St. Mary Hospital Foundation’s High Desert and Victor Valley Breast Health Program provides screening, diagnostic, and patient navigation services to women at-risk, under age 40, low-income, uninsured, and women without access to state-funded cancer detection programs. The patient navigator will educate and guide each woman through needed screening and diagnostic services, while linking and transporting them to treatment when indicated by diagnosis. Symptomatic women will have access to patient support resources such as assistance with transportation, lymphedema garments, wigs, and special needs. Patients are encouraged to participate in the monthly breast cancer support group facilitated by a cancer survivor whose cancer was detected as part of the Every Woman Counts initiative. Clinic sites are located in Adelanto, Hesperia, and Apple Valley, as well as a mobile clinic serving additional communities in Lucerne Valley, Victorville, and Hesperia.
