About the Breast Cancer Collective

The Breast Cancer Collective exists to ensure every individual has timely access to breast cancer screening, diagnostic services, education, and coordinated care, regardless of financial, geographic, or systemic barriers. Rather than duplicating services, the Collective serves as a catalyst for collaboration. It brings together healthcare providers, nonprofit organizations, researchers, community organizations, corporate partners, and volunteers to strengthen pathways to care and improve measurable health outcomes. Everything the organization does is guided by a simple belief: the best solutions are created when organizations work together on behalf of patients and families.

About Our Founder

The Breast Cancer Collective was founded by Dr. David Weintritt, a respected breast surgeon whose career has combined clinical excellence, innovation, education, and entrepreneurship to improve access, outcomes, and the patient experience. The Executive Director will work with Dr. Weintritt, the Board, and community partners to build on the organization’s strong foundation and guide its next decade of impact.

We believe our mission is stronger when people with different lived experiences and perspectives can participate fully. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, including across race, ethnicity, age, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, religion, disability, national origin, and education.
