You never know what a place will be like when you first walk in the door. But BreaCan... it has just felt so welcoming and comfortable.
BreaCan is excited to be one of a number of partners collaborating with the Key Centre for Women’s Health in Society (KCWHS) in a research project about the infertility issues confronting young women diagnosed with breast cancer. In April part funding for the project was granted from the Helen Macpherson Smith Trust. Further funding is currently being sought from other sources.
In September 2007 BreaCan was thrilled to receive its first Victorian Public Healthcare Award. The annual awards recognise the initiative, expertise and dedication of service providers across the state. Over 220 entries, representing the best in Victoria's healthcare system, were nominated across 10 categories in 2007.
BreaCan was awarded top spot in it's category; Innovation in models of care. This category recognises services that look outside the square, the ones who strive to meet the needs of their users and are flexible and diverse enough to do so.
The judges looked to recognise services that work effectively in partnerships. BreaCan has long maintained a commitment to forming and developing strong links with the healthcare professionals to provide collaborative support.
