Description
For 10 years, H3’s Annual Open Panel Discussion About Cancer has brought together healthcare professionals, cancer survivors, advocates, caregivers, and community members for meaningful conversations about cancer. The event is open to the community and aims to make reliable information and support accessible to those who may not otherwise have direct access to these resources.
Join H3 for an empowering and informative panel designed to guide individuals who have been newly diagnosed with breast cancer or any type of cancer.
This panel reflects H3’s mission: Health. Hope. Healing., providing not just information, but guidance and support when it matters most.
This conversation will focus on what to do immediately after diagnosis, including understanding your legal rights, medical options, and personal choices.
Our Panelists:
1. Alejandra T. Perez, MD: Breast Oncologist at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center in Miami and Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
2. Charlotte Libov, Health Author, Speaker, and Breast Cancer Survivor
3. Baruch Jacobs, MD, FACS, Plastic Surgeon (with expertise in patient rights and medical law)
4. Ashley Valdes, Medical Professional & Patient Advocate
The evening will include a special reception featuring the beautiful sounds of Brazilian Bossa Nova, with a special performance by Brazilian singer Rose Max and her husband, renowned guitarist Ramatis.
As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, our final segment will highlight Commissioner Alex Fernandez, who, for the third consecutive year on behalf of the City of Miami Beach, will present proclamations to caregivers and doctors and honor those who make a difference every day. This celebration highlights compassion, expertise, and community spirit.
Our 5 Categories are: Caregiver of the Year, Nurse of the Year, Oncology Treatment Provider of the Year, Advocate of the Year, and Spirit of Hope Award.
If you would like to nominate someone for one of these honors, please email Alex@miamibeachfl.gov with the nominee’s full name, contact information, role in cancer care, and a brief description of 500 words or less explaining why they deserve to be recognized.
