Dr. Francis Arena rejects the notion that there should be financial barriers to health care and medical knowledge, which is why his organization — the SASS-ARENA Foundation for Medical Research — is knocking them down.
On July 15, the nonprofit will host its 28th annual Breast/Ovarian Cancer Awareness Day, featuring a “Meet the Experts” town hall forum and support services showcase, from 8 a.m. to noon at Stonewalls Restaurant in Riverhead.
“We want help to be not measured by what you can afford to see or hear or learn,” said Arena, who is the organization’s co-founder and president. “We need to be out there.”
The panel of physicians and medical experts will include Dr. Julie Drolet, Camille Goode, Dr. Melissa Fana, Barbara Kammerer, Dr. William Kornrich, Dr. John Lovecchio, Clark McCombe, Dr. Hannah Ortiz, Dr. Marc Silberman and Dr. Shawn Zimberg.
