Sharsheret and Holy Name Medical Center, both based in Teaneck, NJ, are partners with a common mission: To increase awareness and provide resources for breast and ovarian cancer. Together, we are bringing attention to local, leading-edge cancer treatment, expanding the network of support and amplifying the conversation about breast and ovarian cancer, so every patient and survivor can access information and advocacy.

While Sharsheret has a special focus on the Jewish community, their programs serve all women and men.
