More than 500 guests at a luncheon last week in Westport helped raise $550,000 for the Norma Pfriem Breast Center, which provides a wide range of diagnostic care and treatment at its Bridgeport Hospital, Fairfield and Trumbull locations.
Part of Bridgeport Hospital and Yale New Haven Health, Norma Pfriem Breast Center has served more than 30,000 women and their families since its launch in 1999, according to Yale New Haven Health. Treatment includes medical oncology, surgical and chemotherapy services, plastic surgery, mammography and radiation therapy, and genetic risk assessment as well as opportunities to participate in clinical trials.
The center also provides comprehensive women’s wellness services, including nutrition counseling, massage and Reiki therapy, wig and prosthesis fitting, counseling, yoga, Pilates, naturopathic medicine, and other patient support activities.
Actress, model and philanthropist Christie Brinkley was keynote speaker at the Rose of Hope Luncheon.
