Why a Survivorship Program?
Breast cancer survivors experience a number of challenges from the time of diagnosis, throughout treatment, and in remission. These challenges often have a tremendous impact on her relationships and everyday life. There are risk factors, and prevention measures that play a vital role in helping her achieve the highest quality of life.
Through philanthropic support, Hoag Healing Breast Cancer Survivors empowers women with tools and lifestyle changes needed to help prevent another cancer, and to help women modify their risk. Together we can thrive through the journey and create new friendships along the way.
