I had the distinct pleasure of being the key note speaker at today’s 2nd Annual Long Island Breast Cancer Awareness Summit. A staggering 1 in 9 women on Long Island will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. The summit offeredattendees, including many breast cancer survivors, a chance to learn about the latest innovations and medical discoveries in breast cancer treatment. I look forward to continuing to support the efforts to find a cure and thank those who sponsored this worthwhile event.
