Condell Medical Center's Breast Cancer Patients benefit from Yaya’s Boutique Inc. Donation

LIBERTYVILLE, IL – Recently, Condell Health Care Foundation received a $775 donation for its breast cancer patients from Yaya’s Boutique Inc. in Libertyville. The monetary gift will be used to purchase breast forms and camisoles that are given free of charge to mastectomy patients through the Condell Women’s Center & Dayhab.

These items are essential in healing a breast cancer survivor’s spirit and can be worn until she is adequately healed and ready for a custom-fit breast prosthesis or breast reconstruction. The items purchased through Yaya’s generosity will go a long way in helping women who have survived breast cancer adjust to their new shape.

The Condell Women’s Center & Dayhab provides health services specific to women’s needs, such as mammograms, ultrasounds and other diagnostic procedures, as well as breast biopsies, therapeutic massage, specialized makeup services for patients undergoing cancer treatment and custom breast prosthesis fittings.

Yaya’s Boutique, located 608 N. Milwaukee Ave. in Libertyville, is designer clothing and accessories shop dedicated to girlfriends and a celebration of all things beautiful and feminine. For more information, visit the store online at www.shopyayas.com.
