Nancy Clemente and Sabrina Mosseau, Northeast Heath's Administrative Director of the Cancer Treatment Center at Samaritan Hospital, at the May 2011 Annual Dinner Event. MORE >>>

Welcome!

As a healthcare professional with over 25 years experience, and as a two-time breast cancer "thriver", I have come to understand the importance of thorough, compassionate care of persons in need. I believe the heathcare community must be responsive to the challenges facing the person living with cancer, and I believe that Samaritan Hospital Cancer Treatment Center is such a place.

I am passionate about survivorship, the education of women about the importance of post-treatment self breast examinations, and assisting those in financial need of lymphedema garments. That's why I created this fund -- to support the efforts of the Cancer Treatment Center at Samaritan Hospital, a member of Northeast Health.

Help me ensure that women living with breast cancer have access to what they need, and are provided with the right education to make the best choices for their care. Thank you for your contribution.
