Agency History
The Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Program (BCCCP) was authorized
by federal legislation, Public Law 101-354, as the Breast and Cervical Cancer
Mortality Prevention Act of 1990. The program operates within the Texas
Department of Health and is funded under cooperative agreement with the Center
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) with some funding also from the Texas
Cancer Council. The purpose of the program is to provide breast and cervical
cancer screening at no cost to low-income women. The program also provides
community outreach, professional education, and data analyses.
