Our Story

Between 2008 and 2011, Team H.O.P.E. donated more than $140,000 to breast cancer research on a national level. In December 2011, Team H.O.P.E. became a 501-c-3 non-profit organization so it could focus on the breast screening needs of women in Frederick County and our local community. Since becoming a non-profit, Team H.O.P.E. has partnered with Dr. Julian Choe, Michelle Cooper, CRNP, Community Radiology Associates and the Frederick County Health Department, donating more than $164,000 and providing care for more than 1050 women. The funds provided to these partners covers the cost of clinical breast exams, follow-up exams and any needed breast imaging for any woman in Frederick County who is either underinsured or has no insurance at all and fall outside the parameters for care being offered through the Breast Cancer Screening Program at the Frederick County Health Department due to age, income level and now due to the lack of funding from the State of Maryland. Imaging provided through Community Radiology Associates and covered by funding through Team H.O.P.E. includes Digital Screening Mammograms, Digital Diagnostic Mammograms, Unilateral Diagnostic Mammograms, Ultrasound, Ultrasound Guided Breast Biopsy, MRI Guided Breast Biopsy, MRI Guided Breast Biopsy, Tomosynthesis and Pet/CT Scans.
