Education Forum
On Tuesday mornings and Friday afternoons, we host a nurse-led educational forum. The forum is centered on breast reconstruction, and is geared toward patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer, as well as those who have previously underwent treatment. The forum is ~60 minutes in length, and includes a slideshow and question/answer session. The forum is informational, free, and open to any interested person. Please call the office at 509.838.1010 if you would like to attend.

Pink Ribbon (Virtual) Run 2021: Dr. Pannucci
Plastic Surgery Northwest is a longtime supporter of the Pink Ribbon Run. Our surgeons have been proud to greet former patients at the finish line and hang their race medal around their neck. The 2020 run was virtual, but we still went above and beyond to support the race. See our video below.
We also support Breast Reconstruction Awareness Day (BRA Day)and other events.
