Recently in the U.S., members of the Breast Cancer Early Detection Coalition met with over 30 members of Congress, urging them to pass the .

Their message was clear:
✅ Mammograms can miss up to 50% of cancers in women with dense breasts.
✅ Breast cancer is often curable when found early — but deadly when found late.
✅ Women shouldn’t have to fight insurance companies for the right to early detection.

Thanks to advocacy, more than 35 U.S. states now require insurance to cover supplemental screening — but millions of women still live in states without those protections.

🇨🇦 Canadian women deserve supplemental screening too. We don't have to fight insurance but whether you can get earlier screening or extra screening depends on your postal code.

This needs to change.

💬 We're inspired by action in the USA. Let's

- Speak up.
- Share our stories.
- Meet with provincial and federal policymakers.
- Send our advocacy letter to your provincial health minister.

📢 Join us. Raise your voice. Let’s demand better breast screening in Canada — together.

Your postal code should not define the breast screening you receive. It should not limit your access to life-saving early detection of breast cancer. But right now in Canada, it does. EVERY woman deserves equal access to self-referral starting at 40, screening past 74 and essential screening for dense breasts. DBC is advocating to ensure that every woman, no matter where she lives, has a chance for early detection.

Our collective voices can help. If you'd like to take action, please find your provincial health minister's email at the bottom of our advocate page https://www.densebreastscanada.ca/be-an-advocate/

Letters to send are in the footer. Together, we can ensure equitable and optimal screening. Thank you.
