Project H.E.R, which stands for Help, Enlightenment, and Resources, is a network of breast cancer survivors. They provide support to women recently diagnosed with breast cancer.

Project H.E.R. is available to all women throughout Linn, Benton and Lincoln counties free of charge. A Project H.E.R. volunteer can help you find the right medical service providers, maneuver through the appropriate channels and get you the latest information. This kind of first hand knowledge can instantly lessen the stress and negative impact triggered by breast cancer diagnosis. All volunteers are guided by Sarah Blanton, a licensed social worker.

Project H.E.R. is a unique program in that it is clinic-based. A patient gains access to a full spectrum of medical capabilities and care to follow her from early detection through treatment. The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation honored The Corvallis Clinic Foundation with a $40,000 grant to help fund Project H.E.R.

To learn more about the services available, or to arrange for a volunteer to meet with you, please call the Project H.E.R. coordinator at 541-738-2065.
