Thank you for your support of the UVA Cancer Center Breast Care Program. Your donations will help make a difference in the lives of countless people: the women and men who are diagnosed with breast cancer, their family and friends who support them tirelessly, as well as the women who may not be getting their mammograms on a yearly basis because of financial reasons.

With the generous funding from the 2006 Charlottesville Women’s Four Miler, the Breast Care Program had the opportunity to fund many projects this year designed to improve patient care for breast cancer patients in our community:
- Funding mammograms for the uninsured
- Funding to provide a Navigation Notebook and Self Help Book for newly diagnosed breast cancer patients
- A breast cancer care kit for newly diagnosed patients, which includes many items to help comfort the patient throughout their journey
- A study to determine how physicians and nurses can help breast patients better understand the goals of chemotherapy
- Funding to increase enrollment in the Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program/ Every Woman’s Life Program
- A study to determine if a special bra can help prevent and control swelling after breast surgery
- Educational materials for the high-risk breast and ovarian program
- A study to help reduce swelling after breast surgery using special adhesive tape

"Philanthropic funding for the support of cancer patients is fundamentally important in improving treatment and outcome for women who develop breast cancer. And, we have a local Breast Care Program of the highest caliber that you can take great pride in supporting."
