Studies have shown that patient education and communication positively affect patient health outcomes, including emotional and physical health. The Breast Cancer Coalition works with area medical professionals and other experts to offer a wide variety of Evening Educational Seminars throughout the year.
Evening Educational Seminars bring information and education to our survivors and community friends.
All Seminars are presented with Closed Captioning (as of 5/25/22).
We are fortunate to have so many local experts to present current information about breast cancer, gynecologic cancer, and survivorship. Thank you to each presenter this year. Below is a list of the Evening Seminar topics and presenters.

Updates in Surgical Management of Breast Cancer
Presented by Rachel Farkas, MD
Breast Cancer surgery is a complex multidisciplinary surgical specialty. The surgeon treats breast cancer in symptomatic patients and coordinates the timing of surgery, at times making referrals to medical or radiation oncologists for advance treatment.
Did you find the period of time between your own breast cancer diagnosis and post-surgical follow-up to be a blur? You are not alone! Many of us found ourselves caught in a revolving door of medical visits with a variety of providers.
Join us to learn more about the basics of surgical decision-making, how these decisions are made, and what might come next.
Come with questions. Leave with answers!
