NCBC is Proud to Announce

the Natosha Lynne Morton Scholarship Winner

Congratulations Cynthia Herndon

This year the National Consortium of Breast Centers announced the return of the  Natosha Lynne Morton Memorial Scholarship  

graciously funded by MagView®

This scholarship provides recognition to a deserving Breast Health professional who best exhibits character, compassion, and  caring in conjunction with providing the best possible care to patients by paying their conference registration  fee to attend the NCoBC 2022 Annual Interdisciplinary Breast Center Conference March 11-16, 2022 in Las  Vegas, NV.

Ms. Morton was a lifelong supporter of Breast Cancer Detection. Under her leadership as Center Director at Houston Northwest Medical Center, the site became the first Certified Quality Breast Center of  Excellence in the NCBC's NQMBC Program. She was actively involved with numerous charities involving the detection, education,  and treatment of breast cancer patients. After a long struggle, Mrs. Morton succumbed to the very disease she had so passionately fought against.
