Fund a Lifesaving Mammogram

By becoming a Bosom Buddy, your $120 over the course of a year provides a free mammogram for a woman in need.

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women; in fact, one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. We know that early detection saves lives but even a basic mammogram costs $120, an insurmountable cost for many in our community.

Your Gift Makes an Immediate Difference

  • $10/month — Be a Bosom Buddy with a simple monthly commitment that adds up to one mammogram a year.

  • $30/quarter — Mark our 30th anniversary with a quarterly gift that covers one screening for a woman in need.

  • $120 one-time gift — Fully fund one mammogram today and give a woman the chance to catch breast cancer early.

At the Ellen Hermanson Breast Center at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital, no patient is ever turned away for lack of insurance or inability to pay. Your support helps provide free, state-of-the-art screenings, education, and compassionate care—right here in our community, where breast cancer diagnosis and mortality rates remain among the highest in New York State.

As we enter our fourth decade, The Ellen Hermanson Foundation has stood at the forefront of change—funding advanced equipment, expanding access to care, and empowering women through education and advocacy.
