October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we at the Sister Study would like to join our participants and friends of the study to remember those affected by breast cancer. With our ongoing research, we honor those we have lost and those who continue to fight against breast cancer. We are grateful to those of you who participate in research like the Sister Study so we can work together toward solutions. Thank you!

COVID-19

With the ever expanding outbreak of respiratory illness caused by the new coronavirus – COVID-19 – and the ever-expanding news coverage, we wanted to share information about where to find the best and most current information. We recommend checking the Center for Disease Control and Prevention website and the National Institutes of Health website. We wish you and your families the best as we deal with this health situation.
