Join community partners Breast Cancer Resource Center (BCRC) and Bodytime.Health for an evening of awareness, information & free testing.
Approximately 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime.
The Breast Cancer Resource Center (BCRC) is the only organization of its kind in Central Texas, dedicated to serving persons with breast cancer and others concerned about breast cancer issues since 1995. BCRC's service area includes Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis and Williamson Counties in Central Texas, with a population of 2.7 million. For 30 years, BCRC has been a lifeline for breast cancer patients and their families, offering expert guidance, education, and advocacy. BCRC provides free, comprehensive support to breast cancer patients for life—regardless of income, insurance status, or stage of diagnosis. Last year alone, we served over 1,300 individuals, including a growing number of metastatic breast cancer patients.
BCRC is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a traveling exhibit designed to increase awareness of breast health and showcase their support services. Both Austin PURE locations will house the exhibit during the month of October. The exhibit will kick off with this very special event at the North Austin location. The exhibit will showcase an Art Bra®, wearable work of art created by local artists. With the exhibit, you will find vital information on breast health and available services from BCRC.
BodyTime, a local Medical Longevity practice, will be offering complimentary on-site blood testing and labs of some critical Metabolic Health markers (including HDL and LDL cholesterol, APOb, Triglycerides and Hemoglobin A1C). The testing will take place starting at 6pm and includes a blood draw on-site plus a 15-minute complimentary virtual meeting with one of our APP Health coaches to discuss each person's results at a later date once labs are completed. Limited tests are available, if you are interested, please sign up and fill out the health questionnaire (button below) prior to the event.
