Are you tempted to skip this years’ mammogram due to the COVID pandemic? You are not alone, COVID-19 has caused mammography rates to plummet.

Join us for a panel discussion about the steps and safety precautions that screening facilities are taking to protect your health; get answers to your questions about what to expect when you go for your appointment; and ways to overcome feelings of stress and anxiety that may arise as a result of screening during the pandemic.

BREAST RECONSTRUCTION VIDEO

We are excited to share a video regarding breast reconstruction funded by a grant from the Plastic Surgery Foundation. This video features Advisory Board Member, Dr. Ron Israeli of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, PC and Lois Goetz, LMSW, our Bilingual Social Worker. Elective surgeries are now possible in Nassau and Suffolk counties so it’s important that patients know their rights and treatment options. Reconstruction is a personal decision and is available for anyone following breast cancer surgery.
