The Collaborative advocates on behalf of breast cancer services, education, patient navigation services, and research. We will work with local, state, and nationally elected officials to ensure that these issues are addressed in legislation.

On March 1, 2011, the Collaborative visited the Texas State Capitol and was recognized on the floor of the House of Representatives by Rep. Sarah Davis. Rep. Davis also hosted a breakfast in the Capitol Member's Lounge. Members visited with 40+ Senators, Representatives, and Aides to advocate and to ensure level funding for the Breast & Cervical Cancer Services program (BCCS) and the Cancer Prevention & Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) in FY12-FY13 and to introduce the Breast Health Collaborative of Texas.
