About BCDC of Alaska

The Breast Cancer Detection Center of Alaska was founded in Fairbanks in 1976 and has been guided by the mission to increase awareness of the survivability of breast cancer and the benefits of early detection by delivering screening services and educational programs throughout the state of Alaska. We serve patients in Fairbanks and on-site in Alaskan communities where breast cancer screening services are not readily available.

The BCDC of Alaska offers state of the art 3D Tomosynthesis technology to harness superior quality images in a warm, comfortable, and calming environment.

The impact of BCDC Mammography Assistance Program stands alone in geographic Diversity by providing inclusive breast cancer screening in Interior, Southcentral, Southeast, and Southwest Alaska.

Your donation ensure, that Alaskans are not denied breast cancer screening services because of geographical and/or financial barriers to life-saving preventative health care. In supporting BCDC, we can continue to decrease the impact of breast cancer on geographically diverse Alaskan communities together.
