The Breast Health & Healing Foundation was created in April 2008 with a straightforward, yet lofty mission:

"To discover the specific causes of breast cancer and to use that knowledge to prevent the disease."

Breast cancer survivors. Their friends and family. Researchers and scientists. Medical professionals. Anyone interested in helping those affected or who might be in the future...

We invite all of you to join us on this important journey as we continue to pursue the daunting challenge that lies ahead.

Dr. Kathleen T. Ruddy, a breast cancer surgeon, created the Breast Health & Healing Foundation to focus attention on the urgent need to discover the causes of breast cancer.  

The best cure — the "pure cure" — is primary prevention, but in order to prevent breast cancer we must first understand what causes it.  

Thus, the Breast Health & Healing Foundation was created to answer the burning question: "Why are all these women getting breast cancer?"
