TurningPoint Newsletter Archive
Our archives provide access to past TurningPoint newsletters. We encourage you to take a look. Our newsletters contain information that is vital to the breast cancer community. They also highlight activities held at TurningPoint's clinic and often include research updates.
 
TurningPoint Breast Cancer Rehabilitation is a non-profit 501c3 healthcare organization that was established in 2003 in response to the unmet survivorship needs of women with breast cancer in Greater Atlanta. Since inception, we have cared for over 3,000 women with breast cancer. TurningPoint's clinic provides specialized and evidence-based rehabilitation for women with breast cancer, including physical therapy, massage therapy, counseling, exercise and nutritional counseling.  The collaboration of clinical services provides each woman with hope, support and education in an atmosphere of wellness.
