Concho Valley
Reaching the women of rural West Texas
Many women living in the 14 counties that make up the Concho Valley must overcome considerable barriers to gain access to breast care services. Geographic distance to mammography services and a limited number of mammography facilities can make accessing breast health care services challenging.
Angelo State University, along with its campus affiliate of the Laura W. Bush Institute for Women's Health, strives to eliminate these common obstacles through the establishment of Access to Breast Care of West Texas-Concho Valley. ABC4WT-CV and its partners provide breast care awareness to the community at large and breast cancer screening services to women who otherwise would not be able to afford or have access to mammogram technology.
