Bonnie's Bus is a mobile mammography unit that travles to sites across West Virginia, offering on-stop breast cancer screening in a comfortable, convenient environment. During 2010 Bonnie’s Bus made 65 visits in 30 counties throughout West Virginia. Approximately 45% of the women screened were underserved. The total number of women screened during 2009 and 2010 is 1,147 having visited a total of 44 counties throughout West Virginia.
Bonnie’s Bus works in close partnership with the
West Virginia Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Program (WVBCCSP). WVBCCSP provides screening services touninsured or underinsured women who, by federal guidelines, are 200% below the national poverty level.
No woman is turned away for lack of payment resources; Bonnie's Bus is able to provide mammograms thanks to support from foundations, individual donors, and other sources. Bonnie’s Bus and the breast cancer screening mammograms it provides are made possible through a generous gift from
Jo and Ben Statler to the Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center in honor of Mrs. Statler's late mother, Bonnie Wells Wilson who died of breast cancer.
