With the right care and support, no one faces their journey alone. When Peggy was diagnosed with breast cancer, she turned to Kent Hospital’s Breast Health Center. The team there provided exceptional care and guidance, helping Peggy navigate her journey with strength and hope. Peggy’s best friend Kim was also by her side every step of the way - attending appointments and being her unwavering source of friendship and love.
