1.4 Enhancing & Expanding Comprehensive Breast Care Services

This project aims to expand and enhance access to specialty breast care services for women with breast disease in El Paso. We will develop a fellowship program to increase the number of skilled surgeons in breast surgery, as well as establish a survivor’s program at the Garbar Breast Care Center (GBCC) focusing on quality of life improvements. Key milestones include reducing appointment wait times, providing mental health and dietary services, and ensuring comprehensive patient care. Our goal is to significantly improve patient access and outcomes, particularly among underserved populations.
