Executive Director of Firefly Sisterhood - Kris Newcomer - Mn Oncology

In this episode, we speak with Kris Newcomer, Executive Director of Firefly Sisterhood. The mission of The Firefly Sisterhood is to foster one-to-one connections between women experiencing breast cancer and inspirational survivors. By matching breast cancer survivors with newly diagnosed women, Firefly Sisterhood helps women navigate their diagnosis and all that comes with it with the guidance of someone who has been in their shoes. Firefly Sisterhood currently has 130 “guides” (breast cancer mentors) providing support and non-medical advice. Anyone with a breast cancer diagnosis can contact Firefly Sisterhood to be matched with a guide, and new potential guides are always welcome. Learn more at fireflysisterhood.org. With more than 100 cancer care providers, Minnesota Oncology offers access to the latest evidence-based treatment paths, 12 close-to-home locations in the Twin Cities Metro area, and comprehensive services to support the whole person. In each podcast, experts from Minnesota Oncology and their community of care discuss the latest topics in oncology treatments, research, support, caregiving, and more.
