Fireside Chats
Upcoming Fireside Chat
Join us for an enlightening Fireside Chat in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month as we bring together the expertise of Dr. Damé Idossa, Masonic Cancer Center researcher and Breast Oncologist, and Steph Kennelly, a breast cancer survivor and advocate. During this chat, Dr. Idossa will provide a comprehensive overview of breast cancer, covering the latest screening guidelines, recommendations, treatments, insights on breast cancer in young women, and breast cancer disparities. Steph will share her personal breast cancer journey, emphasizing both her triumphs and challenges, and shedding light on how she harnessed the healing properties of breathing, movement, rest, and social connection to help navigate her path to recovery.
