Fujifilm Medical Systems USA and the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) have donated an Aspire ClearView-1m mammography unit to the Rose, a nonprofit breast health organization in Houston.
The Rose provides screening and diagnostic services to insured and uninsured women in the Houston community, according to Fuji and NBCF. The new system will initially be located at the Rose's southeast facility, but it will eventually be placed in the next mobile health van purchased by the organization.
The Rose's mobile mammography program currently extends to 24 counties in Texas and provides screenings to more than 7,300 women each year; nearly 4,700 of those are patients who need some sort of financial sponsorship, Fuji and NBCF said.
