ROSEVILLE, CA (MPG) — Breast cancer patients in Roseville will have greater access to services that support recovery, emotional well-being and quality of life through an investment by Placer Breast Cancer Foundation in Sutter Roseville Medical Center Foundation and Kaiser Permanente Roseville Medical Center programs.

The collaboration will help provide a range of services and resources designed to support patients' physical and emotional well-being during their cancer journey.

“As a breast cancer survivor, I know firsthand how important support is throughout treatment, recovery and beyond,” Carol Garcia, chair of the Placer Breast Cancer Foundation said. “We’re proud to support Sutter Roseville Medical Center Foundation and Kaiser Permanente Roseville and their work to care for women in our community. We hope this helps more patients access the care and resources they need.”

At Sutter Roseville Medical Center, patients will have greater access to oncology rehabilitation and lymphedema services that help address side effects and physical challenges related to cancer and its treatment. These services can help patients regain strength, improve mobility, and support recovery after treatment.

“We’re incredibly grateful to the Placer Breast Cancer Foundation for its commitment to supporting patients in our community,” said Tammy Powers, chief executive officer of Sutter Roseville Medical Center and a member of the Sutter Roseville Medical Center Foundation board of trustees. “This generous gift will help strengthen services that support patients through recovery and beyond, helping them regain strength and move forward after cancer treatment.”

The Placer Breast Cancer Foundation funds will provide wigs and other head coverings to patients in Kaiser Permanente Roseville’s oncology department who are experiencing hair loss during their

cancer journey.

“We know cancer can be physically and emotionally challenging,” Manpreet Sidhu, MD, interim chief of oncology at Kaiser Permanente Roseville said. “We are grateful for the support from the Placer Breast Cancer Foundation, which will help our patients by providing them with the care and resources, they need to build their confidence as we help them through their treatment journey.”
