Last week, Plastic Surgery Northwest held its Breast Reconstruction Awareness (BRA) Day celebration, bringing together breast cancer survivors, patients, medical professionals, and community supporters.
BRA Day is an international awareness initiative designed to educate women about breast reconstruction options following a mastectomy or lumpectomy. For many patients, breast reconstruction can play an important role in physical and emotional recovery, helping restore confidence and a sense of wholeness following breast cancer treatment.
Tracy Love, Director of Clinical and Surgical Services, said, “We have patients as far as Western Montana and, of course, here from the Spokane area. Patients travel from all over to receive the care that we provide here.”
Beyond patient education, this year's celebration highlighted the importance of community organizations that help individuals navigate the challenges associated with cancer, including a $10,000 donation to Cancer Can’t.
Other Valley Chamber members, including Inland Imaging, were present at the event and shared additional resources and support.
“Ultimately, partnerships are important so we can support one another to provide care to our patients in the community and the whole region,” said Love.
