The AVON Comprehensive Breast Center at ZSFG celebrated an important milestone this month—20 years of providing equitable access to preventative breast cancer screening services.

A state-of-the-art facility filled with warm and caring staff, beautiful healing spaces, and the latest Breast-imaging technology, the AVON Center showcases the Hospital’s dedication to infusing equity into everyday health care.

During the celebration, guests had the opportunity to tour the Mammovan, which began providing mammography services throughout San Francisco in 2007 thanks to support from the Foundation.

Through an extensive outreach program and strong partnerships, the van is on the move, continuing to visit community centers and clinics across San Francisco. From culturally and linguistically appropriate care teams to prevention services that extend beyond the Center’s walls with the Mammovan, this team continues to alleviate the inequities inherent in preventative cancer screenings.
