YSC of Greater Baltimore is a group of women diagnosed under the age of 40 with breast cancer that meet monthly in the Greater Baltimore Metropolitan area. With the help of the funding through the Maryland Affiliate of the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, the YSC conducts outreach in the community with breast health education and awareness in the Maryland colleges. There are various young survivor groups that meet in different areas of the state. These meetings are geared to support and education, specifically for the unique needs of young women and breast cancer.
Monthly meetings (the third Thursday of each month) at Sinai Hospital, 2401 West Belvedere Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21215 for more information call 410-601-2189 or email yscgreaterbaltimore@youngsurvival.org.

Breast health education is taught in the local MD colleges.
Advocacy is done on state and federal level for breast cancer needs.
