Now fortunately there are two members of EmpowHer’s Medical Advisory Board that are perfectly placed to provide you the most credible breast health information possible – Dr. Bernadette Melnyk, who sits on the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force that made the government’s breaking news recommendation, and on the other side of the issue, Dr. Jay Harness, the President of Breast Surgeons International.
