The Bridge

The New England Journal of Medicine in July 1993 stated, "Women without private health care insurance who have breast cancer receive this diagnosis later and die sooner than privately insured women with breast cancer." We exist to bridge the barriers that many face in finding and fighting breast cancer.
The concept for The Bridge Breast Network was born in 1992 and was nurtured by a group of breast cancer survivors who met in the office of Sally Knox, M.D., a breast specialist at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, Texas. “We started small, but patients kept coming in the door every day. As The Bridge has grown, it has served as a model for other communities in accessing care. As we look ahead 10 years, I hope The Bridge will continue making it possible for the next generations of women to get the care they need.” - Sally Knox, M. D.
