Helpful information from Cape Cod Healthcare

Understanding breast cancer risk factors is key to identifying your unique risk and establishing an appropriate screening regimen.

While you can't change aspects like age or family history, you can significantly help lower your overall risk by making healthy choices and taking proactive steps to manage your health.

Volunteer Spotlight: Dr. Risa Oliveira-Ramos 💜

With a background in accounting, taxes, business advice, and education, Risa meets 1:1 with women to help them understand taxes, finances, and the choices that shape their families’ futures. She believes financial knowledge is more than numbers: it helps people see their options and feel more confident. She also speaks several languages, so participants can get support in their native language.

Thank you, Risa, for giving back to our WE CAN Community!

September was a busy one for WE CAN!

We popped up all over the Cape: the International Festival with Independence House, the Democracy Festival in Brewster, Falmouth Congregational Church's Outreach Sunday, the Falmouth Senior Center Open House, and Student Resource Day at Cape Cod Community College. We were also the featured nonprofit at the Falmouth Chamber of Commerce networking event, where Cait Gerwaski and volunteer Kat Whalen shared all about our programs.

Shout out to our volunteers Myra Killeen, Kat Whalen, and Stephanie Lehtonen for repping WE CAN out in the community!

And when we weren't out and about, we were hanging out at Red River Beach for Summertime Volunteer Connections, swapping stories with old friends and making new ones. Volunteers also helped make Women ROCK a success, whether they were working the event or enjoying it.

To all our volunteers: you are the heart of WE CAN. Thank you for showing up, sharing our story, and being so much fun to work with. Thanks also to every event organizer who welcomed us in!

We love connecting with you all.
