Saint Agatha Foundation

Community Partner Convening

Our Community Partner Convening will be held October 11, 2023 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel and Conference Center in Syracuse. This event will be a great opportunity for medical care and other service providers to learn more about Saint Agatha Foundation and how the organization assists breast cancer patients in Central New York; connect with other partner organizations; and share ideas and feedback with the Foundation. This meeting is intended for those who work with breast cancer patients directly, such as breast cancer patient navigators, social workers, financial counselors, among others. For more information reach out to saintagathafoundation@nptrust.org (and, ideally, please RSVP by October 2 if you plan to attend).
