The National Consortium of Breast Centers' mission is to promote excellence in breast health care for the general public through a network of diverse professionals dedicated to the active exchange of ideas and resources.
What started as a small group of professionals from a variety of related disciplines, all involved in breast health care, has grown into an ever-increasing group of professionals who get together to exchange information, network and learn from each other. The National Consortium of Breast Centers, Inc. (NCBC), began in 1985. The focus is on the development, implementation and expansion of breast center programs to allow professionals to be informed of the most up-to-date breast care techniques and options available to their patients.
With the addition of private sector businesses and corporations as part of the membership, breast health professionals are also kept informed about advances in equipment, technology, drugs and services available to them to improve patient care. Through monthly newsletters, an annual conference and networking throughout the year, NCBC members are kept apprised of the continually changing breast health care environment."
