- Develop consensus-based, patient-focused standards for breast centers and a site visit process to monitor compliance.
- Expand programs of quality improvement and benchmark comparison.
- Develop educational programming on the standards, site visit process, and best practices to enhance center performance.
- Promote patient advocacy through community outreach.
- Leverage strategic partnerships and enhance collaborations to promote the NAPBC.
- Recruit, retain, and promote NAPBC centers.
