Brem Foundation to Defeat Breast Cancer

Caption

The DC Council enacted the Breast Density Screening and Notification Act of 2018 which requires that women be informed if they have dense breast tissue, an independent risk factor for breast cancer. The law is unique because it also requires insurance coverage for necessary, additional screenings for women with dense breast tissue. Importantly, lower-income women will now have access to these lifesaving screenings.
