A N N U A L
R E P O R T
2015 was another year of GROWTH for TurningPoint Breast
Cancer Rehabilitation as we served our 3000th patient.
CLINICAL ACTIVITIES
ADVOCACY AND OUTREACH
We mark our 12th year of providing
specialized rehabilitation care in the Atlanta
area. In 2015, we served our 3,000th breast
cancer patient, providing services that
improve quality of life by reducing pain,
restoring motion, regaining strength and
helping patients and their families cope with
the physical and emotional issues of living
with and surviving breast cancer.
We are very active in our continued advocacy
on behalf of breast cancer survivors locally
and nationally to promote rehabilitation and
exercise as an integral and standard part of
every breast cancer patient’s care.
In 2015, TurningPoint served
almost 400 new patients and
provided a total of 5,500 physical
therapy, massage therapy,
counseling and nutrition visits.
Approximately 38% of total care
provided was through financial
assistance, complimentary and
reduced fee services, which
include monthly patient education
programs, weekly exercise classes,
counseling, nutrition and support
for patients with metastatic
breast cancer.
In 2015, TurningPoint’s advocacy activities
included educating 140 healthcare providers
about the physical and emotional side effects
of treatment and the role of rehabilitation for
breast cancer survivors. In November, we
hosted our 3rd annual healthcare provider
course on advanced concepts in breast cancer
rehabilitation for physical and occupational
therapists along with the Oncology Section of
the American Physical Therapy Association.
The course received excellent evaluations and
many more breast cancer survivors will be
served by these rehabilitation professionals.
Through media and community events,
TurningPoint reached over 1.3 million people
locally and nationally relating to breast cancer
survivorship issues.
PATIENT PERSPECTIVE
“Finally, I took everyone’s suggestion and came to TurningPoint and what a positive difference
TurningPoint has made in my journey! The care, courtesy, and consideration of the staff made
me feel like a woman capable of recovering, as opposed to just another patient in a sterile
medical environment. I met other survivors blossoming post treatment and felt like I could,
too! The physical therapy increased my range of motion and reduced the swelling in my arm
and hand. The entire staff provides personal attention and positive support all the way around.
I am truly blessed to have found TurningPoint and now sing praises about the organization
to every breast cancer patient I meet! TurningPoint continues to be one of the positive gifts of
my breast cancer journey—helping me discover rehabilitation and healing post treatment!
Through the generosity of TurningPoint’s donors and the financial assistance program, I have
been able to receive the care I need. Thank you for all that you do to put the joy in fighting
cancer and living!” C.W.
Care. Compassion. Clinical Excellence.
