Health is a fundamental human right, and there are many positive developments in global health that offer hope for a healthier and more equitable world. According to the World Health Organization, global life expectancy has increased by more than 20 years since 1950, and maternal and child mortality rates have declined significantly in many countries. There have also been major advances in medical research and technology, with new treatments and cures being developed for a range of diseases and conditions. In addition, there has been a growing recognition of the importance of preventative health, with many countries implementing public health campaigns and policies to promote healthy lifestyles and reduce the incidence of chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. These positive trends indicate that progress is being made in improving global health outcomes, and that there is hope for a future where all people have access to the health care and support they need to thrive.

The Becky Baker Foundation

• We believe that the best way to beat breast cancer is by preventing breast cancer. The most effective means to this end is with annual thermograms or mammograms. The BBF offers these services free of charge to those who cannot afford them. • We want to educate every woman in America about the importance of preventing breast cancer in their bodies. Our foot-in-the-door is our free screening offer. This is the first step for many women, and once they actually move forward with their checkup, we offer them the continuing education they need to take care of their body and most likely avoid breast cancer in the future. We also offer continuing education for the male loved-ones of all women. We have learned that most men do not have a working understanding of breast cancer and how this evil disease infects so many women. The BBF is a public charity exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Our Federal Employer Tax ID number is 84-2047492. Our goal going forward is to provide 5,000 free mammograms/thermograms in 2021, doubling that number every year until we reach one million per year in 2028. • This will change the national breast cancer conversation from “Awareness” to “Prevention,” which is the founder's ultimate goal in honoring Becky Baker.
