The SOS program pairs a newly diagnosed breast cancer patient with a breast cancer survivor to offer educated support and encouragement. SOS peer mentors don’t offer medical advice, but as breast cancer survivors themselves, they can relate to the worries and fears that women with breast cancer often experience.
This is the second charity event held by Effective Medspa & Wellness Center to raise money for programs at Anne Arundel Medical Center. Building on last year’s “Beauty, Breasts and Well Being” event that benefited Annapolis-based, Metavivor and this year’s “Captivate, Allure & Enchant” event that benefited Anne Arundel Medical Center’s Heart & Vascular Institute, Effective Medspa continues to fulfill their philanthropic mission to support local charities impacting the lives of people in the community. Effective Medspa and Wellness Center Owner, Laura Hardnett said, “As 1 in 8 women are affected by breast cancer in their lifetime, we are proud to contribute and support these heroes; survivors who are helping other women in our community summon the courage to battle through their journey with hope and determination.”

Chandra Persaud, Practice Manager of the Rebecca Fortney Breast Center at AAMC, said, “Our Survivors Offering Support peer mentors are an integral part of the cancer team at the Fortney Breast Center. The mentors provide support and encouragement to patients from diagnosis through recovery, helping make the breast cancer journey less confusing and less solitary. We are thankful to Effective Medspa and Wellness Center for choosing to support the SOS program this year.”
