The mission of the ENCOREplus program is to raise awareness of breast and cervical cancer and to reduce the impact of these cancers on the lives of medically underserved women in the Greater Baton Rouge area. ENCOREplus is a community based outreach program that provides medically underserved women with breast and cervical education, screening referral services, and support services.
ENCOREplus was created by the YWCA of the USA to reach out to all women who face obstacles to getting high-quality, affordable breast and cervical exams. ENCOREplus is run by women for women, enriched by the YWCA's long tradition of supporting women in every aspect of their lives.

"I sincerely want to thank the many businesses and organizations who made it possible for me to have a breast exam from the mobile unit. I am not employed and have not had a mammogram for two years. The expense would have been a considerable burden. Thanks again." M. Olinde
