“47% of all diseases globally disproportionately affect women — yet mental and physical health are rarely treated together.”
LAC Founder Vanessa Joy Walker, Breast Cancer Survivor
There are over 3.8 million women survivors of cancer in the US.
With increasing survivor numbers, there are reported unmet supportive care needs, including psychological distress and deficits in physical functioning.
