The mission of the Council is to advise the Department of Health Care Services how to reduce morbidity and mortality from breast and cervical cancer among all low-income women throughout California by providing access to high quality screening, early detection, and diagnostic services and to strongly and continually advocate for a sustainable source of funding for the Cancer Detection Programs: Every Woman Counts program and treatment services. Furthermore, the Council will continue to advocate for these services to all California women.
