The HERS Breast Cancer Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non profit organization,provides programs and services supporting the needs of women and families affected by breast cancer in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Description:
HERS Breast Cancer Foundation provides programs and services supporting the needs of women and families affected by breast cancer in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our key program, Bras for Body & Soul, located in the Women's Health Center, at Washington Hospital West, provides FREE post-surgical undergarments (bras&prosthesis) to breast cancer patients who cannot afford to purchase these products so critical to a prompt and healthy recovery. Support programs and services are also available at no charge to these under served women and their families.

History:
HERS Breast Cancer Foundation was established in 1998, by a team of dynamic women. The founding trio included a breast health consultant,a fund raising executive,and a tax consultant who was also a breast cancer survivior. Motivated by their concern for women's health,and the high incidence of breast cancer in the Bay Area,along with lack of services for women and their families, a vision for the HERS Breast Cancer Foundation was created.
