EATONVILLE, Fla. – A Central Florida breast cancer survivor is working to ensure women across the state have access to potentially life-saving mammograms, regardless of their insurance status.

Through “The Beautiful Gate” organization’s Mammograms After Sunday Service (MASS) program , women can receive breast cancer screenings in their communities via mobile 3D mammography units.

“Our target is uninsured women,” said The Beautiful Gate’s founder, Pamela Burnett. “We can’t stop cancer. But at least we could try to stop late-stage diagnosis.”

According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, women who receive regular screenings have a 26%-lower death rate from breast cancer than those who do not receive screenings.
