» Susan Simon

Program Manager

What drew Susan to the Maurer Foundation was her mother, who is a 13-year breast cancer survivor. Susan uses her background in public speaking and advertising to educate people of all ages about early detection of breast cancer, and because of her mother, this is a very personal issue for her. Before joining the Maurer Foundation, Susan worked in advertising at Foote, Cone and Belding and was a public speaker and educator for Wood Tobe Coburn College in Manhattan, NY. When she's not educating, she loves to Samba and Jazz dance, and travel with her husband.

Reaching people through our Breast Health Program

During our breast health seminars, people sometimes confide in us about their personal stories, mostly related to breast cancer, and sometimes not. All these people’s stories make us feel we are really reaching people with our message.

African-American women are more likely to die from breast cancer, above non-Hispanic white women, Hispanic/Latina, American Indian/Alaska native, and Asian-American/Pacific Islander groups.
