About the HCBHP

The Humboldt Community Breast Health Project (HCBHP) is a community resource of support and education for those facing a breast health concern or a diagnosis of breast or gynecologic cancer.

We are a client-centered, grass-roots organization with services provided by cancer survivors and their support persons. We promote healthy survivorship through education, healing support and hope, enabling each person to become their own best medical advocate.

We support and challenge our community to address breast health concerns responsibly and holistically. As survivors we heal through service and by bearing witness to others.

Our services include a patient navigation program, support groups, information specialists, warmline volunteers, an extensive resource library, and more. Please call us Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. at (707) 825-8345 or toll free (877) 422-4776 for a consultation.

Dr. Love and Dr. Mahoney Humboldt County Breast Cancer Study  New!

We are looking for 30 women newly diagnosed with DCIS, a very early form of breast cancer, to participate in a research study.

Humboldt County is the site of a three-year study administered through the Dr. Susan Love Educational Foundation. The California Breast Cancer Research Program has provided an $850,000 grant that will study the effectiveness of administering a minuscule amount of chemotherapy into the breast via the milk ducts.

Please ask your surgeon or doctor for details or call (707) 476-0690.

We exceeded our goal of $80,000 and couldn't have done it without community support of many businesses and individuals who sold and purchased raffle tickets.

The four fabulous trips were awarded to Karen Nessler, Emily Hobelmann, Tami Matsumoto, and Ellen Clague.
