What Every Woman Needs to Know About Breast Health
March 23 @ 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm
$45 – $55
An afternoon of camaraderie and learning open to women of all ages, featuring not one, but two experts in the field of breast health! Bring your friends and family!
The Women of WHC are proud to offer this vital panel discussion, featuring the co-authors of No Longer Radical, an important handbook on breast health.
Knowledge is Power!
- Become proactive about breast health.
- Understand your individual risk factors including genetics.
- Recognize the importance of early detection. Young women are being diagnosed earlier. Over 95% of women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer survive and thrive!
- Learn about the most recent personalized screening options.
- Become familiar with the latest available intervention techniques.
- Develop a strategy to advocate for the care you, or your loved one need.
Our Panelists:
- Dr. Rachel Brem, Director of the Breast Imaging and Interventional Center, GWU Medical Center, and Chief Medical Officer, Brem Foundation to Defeat Breast Cancer
- Dr. Christine Teal, Associate Professor of Surgery, Director of the Breast Care Center, and Chief of Surgery, GWU Medical Center
A catered luncheon will precede the program.
We are also collecting new and gently used bras for the Brem Foundation’s Re-Bra initiative, a unique, innovative, and easy way for women to donate bras to women in need. Re-Bra originated as a way to offer breast surgery patients the opportunity to transform their pre-surgery bras that no longer fit, into a vehicle for good. Re-Bra has grown into an expansive bra collection program giving women the opportunity to donate their gently used bras to women in need. Every bra donated through Re-Bra includes Brem’s breast health information in English and Spanish, and local resources where women can get screened. Look for collection bins at Temple and JBSC.
Tickets are $45 for WHC and/or WWHC Members, $55 for Non-members.
We gratefully acknowledge the generous sponsors who have helped make this event possible: The Anita and Burton Reiner Charitable Fund: Randy (Orna) Reiner, Lisa Reiner, Ricki (Joe) Rosenberg, Renée Reiner (Michael DeSanto).
