Partnering with Northwell Health to Expand Breast Cancer Support Across Eastern Suffolk County

Extending Our Mission to Serve More Women, Closer to Home

The Ellen Hermanson Foundation is proud to now support breast cancer patients receiving care at Peconic Bay Medical Center, part of Northwell Health, expanding our mission to serve women across eastern Suffolk County.
