Thanks to the generosity of West Virginia natives
Jo and Ben Statler

Bonnie’s Bus will offer life-saving early detection for breast cancer in a state with the fifth highest mortality rates in the nation.

Dedicated to providing women with education and support, the bus is a self-contained mobile unit that travels to sites across West Virginia, offering one-stop screening in a comfortable, convenient environment.

The bus and mammograms are made possible through a generous gift from Jo and Ben Statler to the Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center. This was part of a larger donation to WVU in 2007. WVU Hospitals operates the bus as one of its mammography screening sites.

Named after Mrs. Statler's late mother, Bonnie Wells Wilson who died of breast cancer, Bonnie’s Bus and the Cancer Center also received support from Susan G. Komen for the Cure to support outreach to women and follow-up tracking studies and a two-year grant from the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation to establish a clinical trials network.
