Patient Support

"I cannot express how much I appreciated the ladies I met today. Thank you for all that you do!" - R.J.

We were so happy to be able to help this sweet lady with a lymphedema sleeve, mastectomy bras and prosthesis.

It is such a gift to work directly with patients and be a link to hope to them during their cancer journey.

Pink out the Park with the Lexington Legends

We had a great evening on Saturday, May 18 celebrating survivors and their families and remembering those who we've lost too soon.

The focus of the program was "Celebrate Survivorship." We heard from survivors that have used survivorship resources, such as support groups, and learned more from UK HealthCare's, Jennifer Bradley about Integrative treatment options!
