“October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!
In our latest Cancer Matters edition, we’re delivering timely insights to enhance both cancer care and leadership:

– Learn how simple diet and lifestyle changes can support patients during chemotherapy and improve outcomes.
– Discover strategies to boost team engagement and personal accountability, plus tips for leading by example and fostering a balanced, supportive work environment.
– We’re also thrilled to feature BRCA Strong as our “org we love to love” this month.
