The Amy Feiman Behar foundation was created to increase the early detection and treatment of breast cancer for uninsured women. Statistics show that the earlier the tumor is diagnosed, the greater the survival rate. There are 46 million uninsured people in the United States, at least half of them women. As they struggle to put food on the tables for their families, having a preventative mammogram once a year and seeking rapid treatment if anything is discovered is not a priority for them. We want to help save them and we need your support.

Diagnostic Ultrasounds Now Offered at RWJUH
Since 2007, The Amy Foundation has partnered with Saint Peter's University Hospital to promote awareness of the early detection of breast cancer, and to enable uninsured and underinsured women to receive a yearly and potentially life-saving mammogram. We are happy to announce that The Amy Foundation is now working with Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital to expand its program beyond screening mammograms to support diagnostic ultrasound for women whose screenings suggest suspicion of cancer. Our goal and mission has long been early detection of breast cancer can save lives. Thanks to the generosity and support of donors like you, we can now provide this most important test at RWJUH.
