Stories of Impact
“The community really trusts the people who work and volunteer on the MIRA bus. We are able to take some of the services that are offered at clinics and hospitals and bring them to the community, to people’s homes who might not otherwise be able to access care. Most of the patients we see don’t have insurance, so helping them to navigate the system and provide basic health screenings is critical to their health and wellness.” – Kyler Hijmans, Nurse Practitioner

🩷 This fall, we honor both Hispanic Heritage Month and Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October 🩷
🍥 In the U.S., breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women after non-melanoma skin cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death. Although breast cancer deaths have declined by 40% over the past 30 years due to improved awareness, early diagnosis, and treatment, a persistent mortality gap remains among racial groups.
🍥 Increasing the participation of underrepresented groups is crucial for gaining valuable insights into tumor biology and its variations among diverse populations. This approach will facilitate the development of more personalized therapies, ultimately improving outcomes for Hispanic women and Latinas diagnosed with breast cancer.
💗 EVCF supports a commitment to examining the differences in breast cancer biology across racial and ethnic groups. By focusing on these disparities, we hope to encourage strides in reducing breast cancer risk for all women.

🩷 Este otoño, honramos el Mes de la Herencia Hispana y el Mes de Concientización sobre el Cáncer de Mama en octubre 🩷
🍥 En EE. UU., el cáncer de mama es el cáncer más común diagnosticado en mujeres, después del cáncer de piel no melanoma, y la segunda causa principal de muerte por cáncer. Aunque las muertes por cáncer de mama han disminuido un 40 % en los últimos 30 años gracias a una mayor concienciación, diagnóstico temprano y tratamiento, aún persiste una brecha de mortalidad entre los grupos raciales.
🍥 Aumentar la participación de grupos subrepresentados es crucial para obtener valiosos conocimientos sobre la biología tumoral y sus variaciones entre poblaciones diversas. Este enfoque facilitará el desarrollo de terapias más personalizadas, mejorando así los resultados para las mujeres hispanas y latinas diagnosticadas con cáncer de mama.
💗 EVCF apoya el compromiso de examinar las diferencias en la biología del cáncer de mama entre los grupos raciales y étnicos. Al enfocarnos en estas disparidades, esperamos alentar avances en la reducción del riesgo de cáncer de mama para todas las mujeres.
