Watson Clinic - Breast Cancer Awareness Luncheon

The Lakeland Yacht & Country Club was again the scene of this year's annual Breast Cancer Awareness Luncheon event, a celebration of awareness, education and survivorship sponsored by Watson Clinic and Moffitt Cancer Center.

The event, which took place on Wednesday, October 12, 2011, was attended by over 260 women throughout the region with a passion for breast cancer awareness advocacy, and featured insights from a team of specialists from Watson Clinic, Watson Clinic Women's Center, the Center for Cancer Care & Research and Moffitt Cancer Center.

Master of Ceremonies Dr. Elisabeth Dupont then took to the podium. As medical director of breast health Services at Watson Clinic, Dr. Dupont spoke on the importance of maintaining a regular exercise regimen to not only prevent against cancers, but also to ensure overall better health.


Kathryn Allen, nutritional therapist at Moffitt Cancer Center, closed the main portion of the presentation by extolling the values of a healthy diet and its impact on breast wellness.

An interactive question and answer panel concluded the event during which Dr. Dupont, Connie Durrence and Kathryn Allen were joined by Sandra Sha, MD (Radiation Oncology -- CCCR) and Faeza R. Kazmier, MD (Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery -- Watson Clinic Women's Center).
