Social Media Manager

We are a nonprofit organization founded by breast oncologist Marisa C. Weiss, M.D., and born out of her conviction that people with breast cancer need more than a doctor's visit can provide.

We are the leading patient-focused resource for breast health and breast cancer information and support. We engage, educate, and empower people with our expert information and dynamic peer support community to help them make the best decisions for their lives.

Since 2000, we have reached 250 million people worldwide. Breastcancer.org receives 12 million visits each year, and we host the world’s largest online breast cancer peer community, with more than 250,000 registered members.
