How We Help
Operation Bloom provides free breast cancer screening exams to women without access to proper health care. If further diagnosis or treatment becomes necessary, Operation Bloom can refer women to free or reduced-cost health services.
Beating the Odds
Poverty and education are significant obstacles to surviving a breast cancer diagnosis. Operation Bloom provides answers for women at risk. Women who lack understanding of their health needs will receive education on healthy lifestyles and prevention of breast cancer.
Achieving the Goal
With these strategies in place, Operation Bloom sets out to challenge the statistics and reduce Mississippi's breast cancer incidence and rate of death. Operation Bloom empowers women to take control of their wellbeing, beat the statistics, and maintain healthy lives.
