Nearly 50 years of breast health care for Alaska.
The Breast Cancer Detection Center of Alaska was founded in Fairbanks with a mission to increase awareness, improve access to screening, and support early detection across the state.
Dignity. Access. Early detection.
From in-office mammography to mobile outreach, BCDC helps Alaskans receive essential breast health services with dignity, education, and care. As a nonprofit, every donation, partnership, and volunteer hour fuels our work.
We believe screening should be accessible, conversations about breast health should be open, and no Alaskan should face barriers to early detection.
