North Fork Breast Health Coalition

Today we celebrate the power, wisdom, and resilience of women everywhere.

The women who lead, the women who nurture, the women who lift others up, and the women who quietly change the world every single day.

Strength shows up in many forms.

💕 In courage.

💕 In compassion.

💕 In perseverance.

💕In the way women support one another and build communities rooted in kindness and purpose.

At the North Fork Breast Health Coalition, we are surrounded by extraordinary women every day. Leaders, volunteers, advocates, mothers, daughters, friends, and neighbors who inspire us with their dedication and heart.

Today we honor all women and the countless ways they shape our families, our communities, and our future.

Happy International Women’s Day!

Novel breast cancer therapy reduces risk of recurrence for most common subtype of breast cancer, study shows.

The study is the first large-scale clinical trial to show that a new oral endocrine therapy outperforms the long-standing standard therapies used for early-stage HR-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer.

March is here and with it comes renewal, hope, and a fresh season of care for our incredible members.

🌷 Spring reminds us that growth is possible even after the hardest winters. This month, we are wrapping our community in the same comfort, connection, and compassion that makes North Fork so special.

🌷 March services are now available for women in our community who have been affected by breast cancer, offering emotional support, relaxation, and a safe space to simply breathe and bloom.

Our members can register for supportive services including:

🌸 Acupuncture
🌸 Gentle Yoga
🌸 Massage
🌸 Reflexology
🌸 Reiki
🌸 Strength for Life classes
🌸 The Rita Duva Boutique for wigs, scarves, prosthetics and more

These offerings are available at no cost to our members, thanks to the generosity of our donors, sponsors, and this beautiful community we call home.

If you are a current NFBHC member, check your email for how to register and connect directly with our providers.

If you are newly diagnosed or currently in treatment and would like to learn more about becoming a member, please reach out. You do not have to walk this path alone.

Sending love, strength, and the warmth of spring to each and every one of you.

💖 We are North Fork strong, where hope and healing meet.

🌷 March is here and with it comes a reminder that nature does not ask for permission to bloom.

It simply does.

After the cold, after the dark, after the waiting, spring shows up anyway. And so do we.

There is something powerful about this time of year. It calls us to shake off what no longer serves us, to stand a little taller, and to trust that the growth happening beneath the surface is real, even when we cannot see it yet.

Every single one of us has been through seasons that tested us. Seasons that made us question our strength, our resilience, and our ability to keep going.

But here you are.

🌷 Still standing.
🌷 Still growing.
🌷 Still showing up for yourself and for the people around you.

This March, we want you to know that you are not alone.

The North Fork Breast Health Coalition is rooted in this community, growing alongside you, and cheering you on every step of the way.

🌸 Tag a woman in your life who reminds you of a wildflower. The kind that blooms in the most unexpected places.

We are your North Fork Breast Health Coalition Board.

👉 We are volunteers.

👉 We are neighbors.

Every workshop, every fundraiser, every scholarship, every dollar of financial assistance is powered by people who believe in compassionate, community driven breast health support.

✔️ We answer the calls.
✔️ We organize the events.
✔️ We advocate for early detection.

Growth on this page is not about numbers. It is about connection. It is about visibility. It is about making sure no one in our community faces breast cancer alone.

Our mission is to provide resources, education, advocacy, and support to individuals affected by breast cancer, ensuring they feel cared for, informed, and empowered at every stage of their journey.

Real self-love isn't just bubble baths and chocolate (though we're not saying no to those!).

It's showing up for your health, honoring your needs, and putting yourself first.

Here are 5 ways to show yourself some love this February 👇

💗 Schedule That Appointment - Your mammogram, that follow-up, the check-up you've been avoiding. Make the call THIS WEEK. Future you will thank you.

💗 Get to Know Your Body - Monthly self-exams aren't just medical advice, they're self-advocacy. Set a reminder, take 5 minutes, and notice what's normal for YOU.

💗 Say No Without Guilt - Protect your energy and your boundaries. "I need to take care of myself right now" is a complete sentence. Self-care isn't selfish.

💗 Move Your Body Joyfully - Not punishment, not obligation. Find movement that makes you feel strong and alive. A walk, gentle yoga, dancing in your kitchen - whatever brings you joy.

💗 Your Village - Join a support group, call a friend, ask for help. You don't have to do this alone. Connection isn't a luxury, it's essential.

Which one are you committing to this month?
