About Breast Reconstruction Awareness Day
Breast Reconstruction Awareness Day is dedicated to helping individuals better understand the breast reconstruction options available following breast cancer treatment.

Our goal is to create a welcoming and supportive environment where patients and their loved ones can ask questions, hear directly from healthcare professionals and other patients, and gain the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their breast health and reconstructive care.
The evening will also celebrate the strength of breast cancer patients and survivors while highlighting the important role that healthcare providers, caregivers, sponsors, and the Northeast Florida community play in supporting them.

Supporting Breast Cancer Patients Throughout Northeast Florida
At Florida Plastic Surgery Group, we believe breast reconstruction is about more than surgery. Patients deserve access to information, options, support, and a community that understands the decisions they may face throughout breast cancer treatment and recovery.
BRA Day allows patients to connect directly with physicians, survivors, patient ambassadors, caregivers, and others who have experienced the breast cancer journey firsthand.
Whether you are considering breast reconstruction, supporting someone you love, working within the healthcare community, or simply want to support breast cancer patients and survivors throughout Northeast Florida, we invite you to join us.
We look forward to welcoming you to 2026 Breast Reconstruction Awareness Day on October 14 for an evening of education, connection, and community.
