Sisters United in Health/Hermanas Unidas en la Salud is a project of the Adelphi Breast Cancer Program and Planned Parenthood of Nassau County. It involves a collaboration of over a dozen organizations in the Long Island region. Our goal is to provide breast health education, conduct outreach initiatives and offer screening and support resources to African-American and Hispanic/Latino women in under-served communities. We do this by providing NO-COST:

- Bilingual educational presentations and in-service workshops to community organizations, agencies, schools and places of worship

- Referrals to free or low-cost mammograms for women regardless of their insurance or immigration status

- Participation in health and wellness fairs and community programs

- Bilingual educational brochures and literature to community organizations and businesses

Sisters United in Health is supported by grants from The Greater NYC Affiliate of Susan G. Komen, the Nassau County Women's Bar Foundation and other foundations.

MEET OUR SPEAKER: Katerina Dinas-Raptis
Katerina D. Raptis was first diagnosed with Stage 1, estrogen-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer in June 2012 at just 32 years old. Her treatment included a double mastectomy, 12 weeks of Adriamycin-Taxol chemotherapy, reconstruction, and Tamoxifen. Nine years later, in June 2021, she faced a second diagnosis of Stage 2 breast cancer with a high Oncotype DX recurrence score. This time, her treatment involved removal of Axillary lymph nodes on her right arm, tumor removal on her right side, o***y and fallopian tube removal, 4 cycles of EC chemotherapy, 12 cycles of Paclitaxel, 12 weeks of radiation, and ongoing Letrozole therapy.
