Bonnie's Bus - Mobile Mammography Program
Bonnie's Bus serving the women of WV
Dedicated to providing women with education and support, Bonnie’s Bus is a self-contained mobile unit that travels to sites across West Virginia, offering one-stop screening in a comfortable environment.
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.

In Spring 2009, West Virginia University launched “Bonnie’s Bus,” a mobile digital mammography screening unit.  Dedicated to providing women with education and support, the 40-foot-long bus visits areas where women may otherwise be forced to travel long distances for screenings.  If mammograms show a need for follow-up care, women are referred to health care providers in their home communities.
