Reach To Recovery- Breast Cancer program
A breast cancer diagnosis can be a scary thing. Fortunately, the American Cancer Society has a program that can help make the experience easier. Reach to Recovery pairs a specially trained breast cancer survivor with the new patient to provide information, support and encouragement.
