Known since 1997 as the Ovarian Cancer Alliance of Florida, this local Central Florida organization is now embracing a new name and look with an expanded mission. A long-time advocate for women’s & girls’ gynecologic health, the organization has added breast cancer and its connections to gynecologic cancers as a part of its ongoing mission, to ignite the fight against women’s & girls’ cancers.
Educating women & girls on their personal health means more than just focusing on what is on the bottom-half of their bodies. Breast cancer is strongly linked to gynecologic cancers, and cancer education must include the facts and risk factors of this connection in order to create a community of well-informed and empowered women.
