Summer camp. We all have the image in our heads of bunk beds, cabins, bon fires, and most importantly, fun and safe outdoor recreational activities that foster youth development and personal growth.

I work for Aggressive Health Solutions as a Certified Mastectomy Fitter. I work almost every day with our lymphedema Therapist, Margaret Allen.
