WEGO Health Award Nominee: Advocating for Another

WEGO Health Award Nominee: Advocating for Another

I am honored to be nominated for a #WEGOHealthAward as a Patient Leader. Although I received nominations in other categories I am very proud of, the one that is closest to my heart is "Advocating for Another". I will continue to work for this community affected by breast cancer and appreciate endorsements recognizing this work on my #WEGOHealthAwards profile at https://awards.wegohealth.com/nominees/13563. Every day I learn of a new patient who has been diagnosed with breast cancer and in need of education, resources, support, and evidence-based medicine, it only strengthens my resolve to continue this work I am so passionate about. Thank you!
