THE MAMMOGRAPHY OUTREACH PROJECT
This signature program encourages ALL women to get annual mammograms; our slogan for this program is “Early Detection is Your Best Protection”. Early detection has proven to be one of the best weapons in reducing the breast cancer mortality rate. The data captured by this program is used in our year-over-year follow-up statistics.
Virtual SURVIVORSHIP MEETINGS
The S2S’s survivorship meetings are held on the second Monday of each month at the Sisters House. Newly diagnosed women are encouraged to participate in discussions, ask questions, and voice concerns. Updates are given on treatment options, clinical trials, and new research programs. Please check the website to verify the date/time.
Virtual Webinars
The Virtual Webinars are held in partnership with the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey. The programs provide FREE Breast Health Information, Nutrition, and the importance of Exercise. In addition, follow-up is provided to all participants that need additional breast health information and/or show signs of health problems.
