Not Too Little.  Not Too Much.  Just Right for You.

When it comes to breast cancer screening, one size doesn’t fit all. Too little screening can mean missed warning signs. Too much can lead to unnecessary procedures, false alarms, and mounting anxiety. What you need is a plan that’s just right for you — and that’s exactly what the Goldilocks Screening Plan delivers.

The Goldilocks Screening Plan is an important component of our first healthcare improvement project, IBCORA — Improving Breast Cancer Outcomes in Rural Appalachia. IBCORA was created with a simple but powerful mission: to ensure that women in rural communities have access to the same life-saving, personalized screening strategies available anywhere else.

In this article, we’ll introduce you to IBCORA Goldilocks, our 38-year-old virtual breast cancer survivor. Through her story, you’ll see how, with just minimal effort, Ibcora spared her family and herself a tremendous amount of avoidable anxiety. When Ibcora learned about her family’s cancer history — her 58-year-old mother’s battle with ovarian cancer and her 78-year-old grandmother’s bilateral breast cancer — she made the decision to seek genetic advice. That single decision may have saved her life.

Imagine IBCORA Goldilocks sitting at the family dinner table with her mother and her grandmother, who sits proudly at the head of the table. Three generations of women, each touched by cancer in different ways, but united by the knowledge that understanding your risk can change everything. Their story could be your story.

You and your family deserve the same chance IBCORA Goldilocks gave hers.

We’ll show you how.
