Who is RIBCC?

The Rhode Island Breast Cancer Coalition is a 501c3 non-profit organized in 1992
dedicated to ensuring that all women have access to screening and treatment for
breast cancer, to increased support for research, and to  advocating for legislative
initiatives to improve the quality of healthcare for women and their families.

RIBCC . . . facing the challenge and meeting the needs of many

The Rhode Island Breast Cancer Coalition (RIBCC) is the state’s leading grass
roots organization dedicated to   ending breast cancer through the power of
action and advocacy. With passionate commitment, we focus our efforts on
changing the world of breast cancer, on collaborating with the scientific community
in its search for the cause and cure of this disease, and ultimately, on seeing its
eradication from society.        
      
With unrelenting dedication, we strive to make screening, diagnosis and treatment
available for all women, to offer needed programs and support, and to remain
constantly informed of ongoing research and legislation affecting women with
breast cancer. With developed advocacy skills, we bring powerful voices and
insightful perspectives to government, science, healthcare and private industry . .
. to every table where decisions pertaining to breast cancer and the breast cancer
community are being made!

Where every day, we network for a world where women will be safe from being
diagnosed with breast cancer and strive to fulfill the needs of our breast cancer
community by providing free educational programs and support groups. All RIBCC
support groups are professionally facilitated. We have monthly groups for women
in treatment, for the supporters of women with breast cancer and for lesbians and
their partners with any type of cancer. We offer additional groups as the need
arises. We also host a Mind-Body- Spirit program called “Healing Circles”.
