Know Your Lemons® Foundation acquires Dr. Susan Love Foundation for Breast Cancer Research ImPatient Science® Video Series for Breast Cancer Patients

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The groundbreaking ImPatient Science video series created for breast cancer patients, their families, caregivers, and friends to better understand the disease and choices in care is now part of the Know Your Lemons foundation, dedicated to early detection and breast cancer education.

The digital series includes 60 videos, each breaking down the sometimes complex answers to breast cancer FAQs, including: You Have Breast Cancer: What Now?, How to Understand Your Pathology Report and “Understanding BRCA Mutations and Risk”. The series is also available in Spanish: Ciencia Impaciente Video Serie.

Dr. Susan Love, MD, MBA developed the series in 2015 as a part of her path breaking work as a breast cancer surgeon, researcher and educator.

The video series will join the Know Your Lemons Foundation portfolio of globally popular early detection campaigns in 30 languages that sidestep cultural taboos, fear and literacy issues by using contemporary graphics to demystify breast health. The Know Your Lemons early detection app is a two-time Webby award winner for Health and Fitness. Know Your Lemons also offers in person and online classes led by trained volunteers.

“Our core mission is extended and deepened by this partnership with the Dr. Susan Love Foundation,” said Corrine Ellsworth-Beaumont, CEO & Founder of Know Your Lemons Foundation. “Our global digital reach means the invaluable resource of the ImPatient Science video series will be seen by an ever growing audience of those who need them.”

Dr. Susan Love understood that patients facing a breast cancer diagnosis were often overwhelmed with fear, confusion and, very simply, a lack of explanations about what breast cancer was and how it might affect their lives. With the help of generous partners, the Dr. Susan Love Foundation was able to deliver accessible answers in short visual sound bites.

The ImPatient Science educational series was underwritten by these generous partners of the Dr. Susan Love Foundation: Avon Breast Cancer Crusade, Celgene, Genentech, Genomic Health, Merck, Novartis, and Pfizer Oncology.
