OHC - Oncology Hematology Care

The Karen Wellington Foundation for LIVING with Breast Cancer (KWF) is an incredible organization that OHC has partnered with for several years. KWF brings hope to breast cancer patients through gifts of FUN, from beach vacations, spa days, backstage passes, and more. Their mission is to put FUN on the calendars of women and families LIVING with breast cancer. Many OHC patients have been previous recipients of KWF and we are proud to support such a positive organization in their goals. Visit https://lnkd.in/g4wNEHY7 to learn more. Recently, Susie Osha and Siena Villeneuve from KWF hosted a table outside the OHC Eastgate office, providing Lemons to Lemonade boxes to breast cancer patients actively undergoing treatment. These boxes include several goodies to help patients find the strength and resilience in the choice to keep on LIVING ON. OHC breast surgical oncologist Dr. Abby Tremelling and advanced practice provider Lindsey Miller stopped by the table to show their gratitude to KWF for their continued support to all breast cancer patients. #KarenWellingtonFoundation #BreastCancerAwareness #CancerSupport #LemonsToLemonade #LivingWithCancer #HopeForPatients

The OHC Genetic Risk Evaluation and Testing Program (GREAT) provides testing and counseling for people who may be at risk for hereditary cancer. Elizabeth Burneka, MSN, APRN, AOCNP, is on the genetics team and explains the process for those eligible. “Our team helps those at-risk make informed decisions about their healthcare needs. We will determine your eligibility first with a comprehensive personal and family history. Depending on your history, cancer genetic testing may be ordered. Our genetics specialists will go over the results with you and if you are found to have a positive genetic link to cancer, we will provide you with an individualized care plan that could include surveillance, risk-reduction medications, or preventative surgery. A positive genetics diagnosis will also include identifying those family members who may need to be informed. We offer free cancer genetics testing to your immediate family members living locally, if you test positive. Genetic testing is useful in helping to make educated choices about your future. In a way, it serves as a road map to risk reduction. It is also important to understand that a positive result does not mean you WILL be diagnosed with cancer. It simply means we need to take steps going forward to help reduce risk and evaluate with screenings to find things sooner rather than later.” To learn more about the OHC GREAT Program, please visit ohcare.com. You do not have to be an OHC patient to be seen by our genetics specialists. #CancerGenetics #GeneticTesting #HereditaryCancer #PreventativeCare #FamilyHistory #HealthcareDecisions #GeneticCounseling
