PRMA's virtual bra day

Yesterday we celebrated Breast Reconstruction Awareness day! Although we missed seeing everyone in person this year, we were still able to spread education and awareness on ALL reconstructive options through our virtual efforts.  We were also able to share information on the many amazing organizations supporting the breast cancer and breast reconstruction community through our virtual booth spotlights!

Our surgeons wrapped up the day of education by answering patient questions during a Facebook LIVE Q&A session.  Miss it?  No worries!  You can catch the replay here!

Want to learn more about our virtual booth spotlights?  Catch the replay of their virtual booths below!

Thank you all for an amazing BRA Day 2021 event! We look forward to celebrating again next year!
