The Breast Health Initiative (BHI) was founded by medical students at FIU Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine in 2011 to improve access to affordable breast health services and breast health education for uninsured women in Miami-Dade County.
Mammograms can save lives by detecting breast cancer early when it's easier to treat, and before it can spread or grow. Funds raised by the Breast Health Initiative (BHI) support uninsured women enrolled in the FIU Medicine's Green Family Foundation NeighborhoodHELP program.
Annual Art Show & Auction
FIU medical students lead the annual art show and a sale of local artwork, with funds from the event supporting the BHI initiative. These funds help provide low-cost diagnostic services and breast health education to uninsured women in Miami-Dade County who are part of the NeighborhoodHELP program.
