Ellen Hermanson Foundation
Creating A Legacy For Women's Health
The Ellen Hermanson Foundation was established in 1997 to honor the memory of Ellen Hermanson and carry on the important work to which she devoted so much of her time and energy. An activist and an advocate, Ellen channeled her journalistic talents to become a forceful voice for breast cancer patients and their families. She educated her readers about the importance of early detection, the challenges of living with breast cancer, the very real, but little-discussed or understood, issue of pain management and the debilitating effects of breast cancer on the entire family.
The Ellen Hermanson Foundation is continuing Ellen's work by focusing on three areas, primarily to serve breast cancer patients on the East End of Long Island:
- Educational outreach about the importance of mammography and early detection to medically under-served communities of women
- Psychosocial support services that address the broad range of issues facing breast cancer patients, survivors, spouses, families and friends
- Research on improving understanding of pain management and methods for treating pain
The Ellen Hermanson Foundation is unique in its commitment to helping breast cancer patients and their families cope with the changing nature of the physical and emotional aspects of breast cancer. |
