“Our START NOW program staff is incredibly dedicated toproviding breast cancer education and patient navigation services to men and women in the Metro East,” said Felecia Jackson, community outreach specialist at TRH. “The fight against breast cancer is fierce and ongoing but it’s rewarding when you participate in activities to increase awareness or raise money to help find a cure, and that is what we’re hoping to achieve with our START NOW Team.”
