Through the Screening and Treatment Program we are able to assist women in need of important cancer screening services. Through the years Jefferson has diagnosed women with Breast cancer and connected them to needed treatment. As an oncology social worker providing resources and support for patients during a very difficult time in their lives is an honor and a privilege.
