Program Information

This 60-minute webinar will provide healthcare professionals with a practical framework for moving beyond mammography alone toward a more comprehensive approach to early breast cancer detection. Participants will explore how breast cancer risk assessment helps distinguish patients who may benefit from routine versus enhanced screening and will review the roles of mammography, genetic testing, and breast MRI in risk-informed screening strategies. The webinar will also examine current screening guidelines, breast density, utilization trends, and barriers that can affect screening and follow-up. Particular attention will be given to implementation within health centers, including reminder and tracking systems, patient navigation, outreach, referral pathways, community partnerships, and relationships with imaging and cancer centers. The presentation concludes by identifying opportunities for health centers to leverage existing patient relationships, EHR infrastructure, navigators, and external partnerships to strengthen personalized breast cancer prevention and early detection.
