Breast Connect, Inc.

The mission of Breast Connect, Inc., is to empower those diagnosed with breast cancer to become their own best advocates in their breast cancer journey by connecting them with relevant information, resources, and friendships. In 2014, a group of breast cancer patients and survivors in Knoxville, Tennessee, met one evening for the purpose of companionship and support. That group, nicknamed the “Happy Hour for a Cure,” grew as dozens of women found comfort and support in sharing their stories with those who “had been down that road.” It was during these Happy Hours that the idea of Breast Connect was born. That small group blossomed into breastconnect.org; a website that provides a comprehensive one-stop shop experience where women can find resources and answers to help give them direction, confidence, and support during the most critical decision-making process and beyond. Educational material, financial assistance information, survivor questions to ask your docs, treatment/surgery tips, and day-to-day assistance suggestions for those with limited family support or availability are just a few features the site offers. Additionally, the private @breastconnect FB group is where most of the communication between survivors and the newly diagnosis happens. From Happy Hour to Facebook to Website, the focus of Breast Connect remains Survivor helping Survivor. If you are visiting us as a newly diagnosed breast cancer patient, we welcome you to our sisterhood. You are not alone. Email: contact@breastconnect.org
