BRA DAY – the American Society of Plastic Surgeons Magazine Since 2011, Breast Reconstruction Awareness Day has taken place on the third Wednesday in October. Part of the Breast Reconstruction Awareness campaign, BRA Day was started in response to research that showed that not all women are made aware of their breast reconstruction options at the time of a breast cancer diagnosis.
In Louisiana, Kim Sport and Breastoration has worked diligently to increase awareness and assist women with their household needs so that they can have their breast reconstruction.
Thank-you to board members Kim Sport, Amelia Leonardi, Dr. Jules Walters, Dr. Amy Rivere and staff Michelle Burtch for their hard work and dedication. Read Breastoration’ s story on pg. 12 Breastoration: Removing barriers to reconstruction
