Today, we stand beside every woman and family living with Stage IV metastatic breast cancer.

🩷 You are seen.

🩷 You are valued.

🩷 You are never forgotten.

At the North Fork Breast Health Coalition, we understand the courage it takes to face each day with strength and grace.

Our Stage IV Metavivor Program was created to bring comfort, hope, and support to those navigating life with metastatic disease because no one should have to walk this path alone.

We also honor the memory and legacy of Keri Lynn Stromski, whose strength continues to inspire our mission.

Through the Keri Lynn Stromski Stage IV Breast Cancer Research and Support Fund, we are able to fund research and provide vital local resources to those living with advanced breast cancer right here in our community.

Every donation helps us continue Keri’s vision of hope, one rooted in compassion, courage, and connection.

✨ Please consider donating today to help us make a difference.

💗 We are thrilled to share that the North Fork Breast Health Coalition is on the cover of the new NoFo Neighbors Magazine!

A heartfelt thank you to NoFo Neighbors and Flying Point Media Group for this beautiful feature and for helping us spread the word about the work we do. Being seen in this way allows us to reach more women and families and remind them that they are never alone.

Our mission is simple but powerful: to provide care, comfort, and connection to breast cancer survivors and thrivers right here on the North Fork.

What makes our Coalition unique is that everything we do is truly a labor of love. Our volunteers, staff, and community partners come together with passion and compassion, offering support that goes beyond treatment.

👉 Through our Lend a Helping Hand grants, we provide financial assistance to ease the burdens that come with a diagnosis.

👉 Our wellness programs bring comfort through massage, reflexology, gentle yoga, acupuncture, and more — all offered at no cost to patients.

👉 In our Support and Resource Center, women can find wigs, prostheses, and supplies that help restore confidence and dignity.

👉 We also host support groups and events that bring survivors and thrivers together, reminding them that strength grows when we walk this path side by side.

This cover feature is more than recognition.

It is a celebration of our community, our volunteers, and the women we are honored to serve. It is a reminder that compassion, care, and commitment can change lives.

💗 Thank you again to NoFo Neighbors and Flying Point Media for sharing our mission.

Together, we are North Fork Strong.

Starting next year, New York will become the first state in the nation to require that private insurance companies cover scalp cooling for chemotherapy patients.

Scalp cooling, a treatment that helps preserve hair during chemotherapy, is pricey — the National Cancer Institute cites an average cost between $1,500 and $5,000 per patient. It is often not covered by insurance.

In 2026, New York will become the first U.S. state to require private insurance companies to cover scalp cooling for chemotherapy patients.

What an incredible day. 💗

Our 27th Annual 5K Walk brought together survivors, thrivers, families, friends, and supporters from across the East End and beyond.

The result?

A sea of strength, hope, and unity that made this year’s walk one of the most powerful yet.

Because of YOU, our walkers, sponsors, volunteers, and community, this event was a true success!!.

Every step taken was a step toward healing, toward awareness, and toward lifting up those touched by breast cancer.

For 27 years, we’ve walked side by side. And, this year reminded us more than ever: when we come together, hope grows stronger.

Thank you for walking with us, for showing up, and for keeping the spirit of support alive.
