Breast Reconstruction Awareness Day 2026 Events

BRA Day (Breast Reconstruction Awareness Day) at Mayo Clinic Arizona is a community event dedicated to educating, empowering, and supporting individuals affected by breast cancer. The event brings together breast cancer survivors, patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals to provide education on breast reconstruction options, recovery, survivorship, and available resources. Through expert presentations, patient stories, and opportunities for connection, BRA Day aims to increase awareness of breast reconstruction and help patients make informed decisions about their care.

Our first annual Breast Reconstruction Awareness Day (BRA Day) will be at Mayo Clinic on October 19, 2026. This special evening event is designed to bring together patients, survivors, and multidisciplinary providers to promote education, awareness, and support across the breast cancer care continuum. Attendees will hear from experts in plastic surgery, breast surgery, medical oncology, and radiation oncology through brief, patient-focused presentations covering topics such as reconstruction options, timing of reconstruction, and what to expect throughout treatment and recovery. The event will also include patient perspectives, offering meaningful insight and shared experiences. This is a unique opportunity to ask questions, connect with members of the care team, and gain a better understanding of breast reconstruction in a supportive and informative environment.
