Share this...

TurningPoint, a non-profit organization based in Atlanta, Georgia has helped women all over the United States who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. They are the only non-profit organization in Atlanta — and one of few in the country — that offers physical and mental health therapy specifically for women with breast cancer.

Marlena Murphy, a mental health counselor and advocate with TurningPoint, who is also a breast cancer survivor, spoke with BLK News Now! Health/Entertainment contributor Falisha McGee for the #BLKFriday podcast to share advice and valuable information about prevention and treatment options, including the availability of services for patients with and without health insurance.
