Also in Attendance… :)

Last week, I traveled to NYC to begin my duties as a Planned Parenthood Patient Spokesperson, to be part of a four-person panel that announced the new, expanded Planned Parenthood Breast Health Initiatives.

Article from The Grio.

Evidently I was in tears. But it was just one of those days. I somehow found myself talking to a roomful of reporters with the President of Planned Parenthood, a famous actress (shown above), and a super accomplished doctor. I felt weird, okay?

Weird, but tremendously happy.

I am so thrilled that Planned Parenthood is expanding their breast services. The services and programs expanded through this initiative include:

grants for specialized follow up services, like diagnostic mammograms, ultrasounds, or biopsies
digital breast health educational resources specifically designed for women aged 18-39
an expanded promotores educational and outreach program to reach Latinas
a unique training tool designed for Planned Parenthood doctors and nurses to assess breast cancer risk in patients — including those under age 40
