The event is FREE for all attendees and open to the public, as well as all SPC students, faculty and staff. Please register at this link and join us for a night of learning!
Breast Health Event agenda
The Health Education Center lobby will be transformed into an exhibit hall with more than 13 different exhibitors ranging from local non-profits and mastectomy boutiques to cancer support groups. The event, which starts at 4 p.m., aims to inform students, those affected by cancer and the public about how to prevent the disease, how to become a certified mastectomy fitter and how to find local resources for dealing with the “C” word – cancer.
At 5 p.m., all attendees will be directed to the HEC auditorium for a panel discussion moderated by Dr. Eric Carver, HEC’s provost. The panel will include:
- Leona Hamrick, PA – breast cancer survivor and physician’s assistant
- David Bloom, MD, Ph.D. – oncologist at Wellspring Oncology
- Alisa Savoretti – breast cancer survivor and founder of My Hope Chest
- Deborah Curtis, BSN, RN – breast cancer survivor and certified mastectomy fitter
