Patti St. Clair believes in the power of early detection and breast cancer prevention, which is why she partners with Riverside Health to empower women with personalized risk assessments and strategies to identify and reduce the risk of this disease. In 2024 alone, 12,960 women were provided with the opportunity to take a self-assessment screening for hereditary high-risk breast cancer through their Riverside Health primary care or OB/GYN providers. Of these, 1,755 screened high-risk and were offered free genetic counseling and education, supported by generous funding from Mrs. St. Clair and others like her.
Riverside Health offers a comprehensive span of services—providing over 2 million services annually. Private donations through the Riverside Foundation ensure everyone that walks through our doors receives the care they need. Your partnership can help us expand these services and many other life-saving efforts throughout the communities we serve.
