In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and in alignment with the New Albany Lecture Series featuring Robin Roberts, this Community Health Talk offers an intimate and inspiring look into the journeys of local breast cancer survivors.
Join us for a heartfelt panel discussion featuring Deniece Pittman, Adriana De la Peña Driottz, Amy Cobbs, and Angie Cox, four courageous women who will share their personal experiences navigating diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. Their stories of resilience and hope will be moderated by a respected oncology specialist who will provide expert insight, facilitate meaningful dialogue, and answer audience questions.
This event is designed to:
– Create a safe and supportive space for shared storytelling and connection
– Educate attendees on the importance of early detection, treatment options, and survivorship care

Together, we honor the journeys of survivors and highlight the power of support, knowledge, and community.
