Lynne Cohen Screening and Prevention Clinic at Bellevue Hospital

The Lynne Cohen Screening and Prevention Clinic at Bellevue Hospital was established in 2001 to provide services for women at high risk for breast cancer and ovarian cancer. Bilingual staff members offer access for New York City's Spanish-speaking population. Between March 2004 and September 2006, 100 new patients were screened at Bellevue Hospital for ovarian cancer and breast cancer. Of these, 62 women were determined to be at high risk and 38 were at intermediate risk. Latinas comprised the largest group (35%).

Since its inception, the program has formed relationships with organizations including:

• Consulate General of Mexico in New York
• Consulate General of Peru in New York
