ABOUT US

The North Fork Breast Health Coalition is working to encourage and assist in the prevention, early intervention, and cure of breast cancer through advocacy, awareness, networking, and research. The funds we raise go directly to programs such as "Lend a Helping Hand", which provides grants to patients on the North Fork who are being treated for breast cancer.

    COVID-19 UPDATE:

    Out of concern for the health and welfare of our cancer survivors/thrivers and facilitators, the NFBHC has suspended our Yoga/Meditation, Reflexology and Massage therapies. If you had an appointment, please do not come for it.  You will be rescheduled when it is safe to do so.
