We Fight Breast Cancer Differently
By providing quality-of-life and crisis support services to breast cancer patients in Northern Virginia.
We Fight Breast Cancer Differently
OUR MISSION:
Improving the quality of life for those impacted by breast cancer by funding needed support services locally.
PROVIDING BREAST CANCER PATIENTS WITH
A Better Quality of Life
The Step Sisters fight breast cancer differently – by raising funds to provide practical support services for area patients as they battle the disease.Studies show that personal and financial difficulties can cause breast cancer patients to delay or even stop their treatment. By funding services such as transportation, childcare and house cleaning, our goal is to not only increase a patient’s quality of life, but also decrease her obstacles to treatment.
Who We Are
What does a sister do when you need help? Maybe she watches your kids or cooks a meal for you. She doesn’t ask what you need because she already knows. She just pitches in and helps.
The Step Sisters are Northern Virginia women and men that have all been affected in some way by breast cancer. Some of us are survivors, others are caregivers, friends and family. But we are all united in our goal to step in to help, just as a sister would.
Who We Help
Patients are eligible for services if they are referred by participating hospitals. Recipients of services are identified by Nurse Navigators who work closely with patients and are in the best position to determine who will benefit most from these services.
We currently provide services to patients with: Inova Loudoun, Inova Fairfax, Inova Fair Oaks, Inova Alexandria, Novant Health, Virginia Cancer Specialists and Reston Hospital Center.
Get Support
If you are a breast cancer patient in need of support, please contact your Oncology Nurse Navigator at the medical facility
where you receive treatment. They will help you access the services provided by the Step Sisters organization.
