Share the Care

    Share the Care helps remove barriers to advanced breast care services for people who need them. To find out if you’re eligible, Yavapai Regional encourages you to call the Baskin Breast Care Center. Our team will work with you individually to ensure you receive the screening, services, and care you need. Call (928) 771-7577. The YRMC Foundation’s Breast Care Fund can provide assistance to people of our community who typically:

    • Are between the ages of 40 and 64
    • Lack adequate health insurance or have a high copay or deductible
    • Do not qualify for AHCCCS (Arizona’s Medicaid)
    • Do not qualify for the Well Woman HealthCheck Program through the Arizona Department of Health Services
    • Can’t afford the cost of digital mammography screening

    Breast cancer risk assessment is available to all women and men in our community. The assessments are performed by one of our excellent clinical navigators. Please call (928) 442-8841 to arrange an assessment.

    Free breast cancer risk assessments are another way the Breast Care Center clinical team helps Share the Care. One of our experienced and compassionate clinical navigators assesses if you are at low, average, or high risk for breast cancer. We also estimate how much of this risk could be attributed to inherited mutations in the BRCA 1 or 2 genes, a factor in about five to 10 percent of breast cancers. The assessment includes:

    • Personal and family history of breast cancer and ovarian cancer
    • Hormone exposure and supplementation
    • Lifestyle factors (exercise, weight, diet, alcohol use)
    • Number of pregnancies
       

    Following your assessment, you and your primary care physician will receive a report summarizing your risk for breast cancer along with recommendations from the Baskin Breast Care Center team.

    Share the Care involves hundreds of people doing what they love and giving because they care. In fact, each year many local organizations host events to help combat breast cancer in our community. Check out the organizations that support the YRMC Foundation’s Breast Care Fund and the Baskin Breast Care Center with fundraising events.
