The Center Civic Women’s Club is a group of dedicated women who support Beaver County women and girls in a variety of ways. For nearly 25 years, the CCWC has donated funds to the Heritage Valley Health System Foundation to support and encourage Beaver County breast cancer survivors. The fund covers the cost of prosthetics, bras, wigs and accessories from pre-approved vendors. To date, the CCWC has donated $400,000 to help more than 1,600 breast cancer survivors.
“This fund is such an important support for women coping with a cancer diagnosis and the change in body appearance that comes with surgery and treatments needed for survival,” said Linda Homyk, MSN, RN, Vice President Patient Care Services and Chief Nursing Officer. “Their support helps to improve self-esteem, restore dignity and give hope in an otherwise uncertain period of life.”
For more information, patients should contact their oncologist’s office or the Heritage Valley Health System Foundation at 412-749-7966.
