The Mary Joan foundation does not only provide emotional support to patients and their families but also serves the community by raising awareness and by providing information about breast cancer. The foundation is trying to reach as many people as possible with lectures, seminars, meetings, newspaper articles, radio and television programs, get-togethers and other activities. The Mary Joan Breast Cancer Support Group meets government officials, members of the medical community, hospital staff and other foundations to help improve the care for breast cancer patients on Aruba.
Since November 2009 the foundation opened its own center in Dakota, where everyone is welcome. This center is the place to find information about everything that has to do with breast cancer for all interested. Early detection is vital. Women can protect themselves through mammograms, yearly check-up and monthly examinations. A healthy lifestyle in general is also a very important.
No woman in Aruba needs to face the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer alone.
