EDINBURG, Texas – As part of their ongoing effort to raise awareness about B.R.A. (Breast Reconstruction Awareness) Day, a worldwide health initiative, DHR Health is delighted to announce its Breast Reconstruction Awareness Day Fashion Show and Gala. The event will take place from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on October 16, 2024, at the Edinburg Conference Center at Renaissance, located at 118 Paseo del Prado in Edinburg. Every year, healthcare systems around the world come together to observe B.R.A. Day, which was established to highlight the various breast reconstruction options available to women who have bravely undergone breast cancer surgery.
The evening will feature insightful presentations from DHR Health’s plastic and reconstructive physicians: Dr. Mauricio De La Garza, Dr. Alexander Chase Castillo, Dr. Ali Kilic, and Dr. Armando Moncada. These physicians will discuss the multi-step reconstructive surgeries that typically follow the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. At DHR Health, comprehensive medical services are available to patients at every step of the process–from initial screening and diagnosis to treatment and reconstruction. State-of-the-art technology and procedures are utilized for these vital medical services.
Serving as runway models for the fashion show will be women who have undergone breast reconstruction due to breast cancer or who are scheduled for their reconstruction procedure. The clothing for the models is being provided courtesy of Dillard’s Department Store. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Renaissance Cancer Foundation, a non-profit organization of DHR Health dedicated to helping local underserved cancer patients throughout the Rio Grande Valley with financial and transportation assistance, as well as providing free wigs.
“It’s important that women receive information about breast reconstruction options to make informed decisions,” said Marissa Castaneda, DHR Health Senior Executive Vice President. “At DHR Health, we have an integrated approach that brings oncologists, breast surgeons, and plastic surgeons together to ensure that women are aware of their options and, ultimately, that every aspect of patient care is seamlessly coordinated. Prospective patients don’t need to travel anywhere. The medical care they need is available right here in the RGV.”
