At Hadassah, we're using three proven strategies to fight breast cancer: education & awareness, domestic advocacy, and support for groundbreaking research at the Hadassah Medical Organization (HMO).
Among women in the US, breast cancer is the second most deadly cancer, causing 40,000 deaths each year in America. Jewish tradition teaches us about the value of saving lives.There are so many ways you can work with Hadassah to help more women live longer, healthier lives.
What can i do, breast cancer research, breast cancer advocacy, on the ground.
As scientists and doctors — including at HMO — deepen our understanding of breast cancer, we have more tools to fight it. Make sure you and your loved ones understand your risks and what breast changes women should be on the lookout for. Talk to your loved ones about breast cancer in your family, and talk to your doctor about when and if you should get a mammogram or genetic counseling. Then spread the word. When it comes to awareness and breast cancer advocacy , just talking to family, friends, and your community – in person, online, and everywhere -- can have an impact.
Across America, Hadassah chapters are engaging their communities in Hadassah's national breast cancer awareness programs . Some are teaching teens breast health self-awareness, while others are involving women in raising breast cancer visibility by decorating bras or painting their bodies, sharing personal stories of survival, or speaking with loved ones about family BRCA risks. In all of these ways, Hadassah women embody the Power of Women Who Heal.
Hadassah women are always coming up with new ways to get together for a good cause. You can find stories of the powerful, heartwarming, and inspiring breast cancer awareness events happening around the country.

People began to settle in what is now the Kemerovo region several thousand years ago. The indigenous peoples of the region were Shortsy and Teleuts. In 1618, Russians founded Kuznetsky stockaded town in the south of the present region to protect Russian lands from the raids of the Mongols and Jungars. In 1698, Mariinsk was founded.
In 1721, Mikhailo Volkov found “burning mountain” (a burning coal seam) on the banks of the Tom River and thus became the person who discovered the Kuzbass coal deposits. Industrial development of this land started at the end of the 18th century.
During the 19th century, the territory of the Kemerovo region was part of the Tomsk province. During this period, the first industrial enterprises appeared here: Tomsk ironworks, Gavrilovsky and Gurievsky silver plants, Suharinsky and Salairsky mines. Construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway was one of the main reasons for the rapid development of the local industry.
More historical facts…
In Soviet times, the region became part of the West Siberian krai, and then - Novosibirsk oblast. The development of the coal, metallurgical and chemical industries continued: Kemerovo Coke Plant, Kuznetsk Metallurgical Plant, a lot of new mines. The workers’ settlements built near the industrial enterprises quickly obtained the status of towns: Kiselyovsk, Osinniki, Krasnobrodsky, Tashtagol, Kaltan, Mezhdurechensk and others.
During the Second World War, this region was a major supplier of coal and metal. More than 50 thousand tanks and 45 thousand aircraft were produced using steel from Novokuznetsk. 71 industrial enterprises were evacuated to Kuzbass from the occupied regions, most of them remained in the region after the war.
In 1943, Kemerovo Oblast became a separate region that included 17.5% of the territory and 42% of the total population of Novosibirsk Oblast. After the war, the region continued to grow rapidly. On September 18, 1984, about 100 km from Kemerovo, a peaceful underground nuclear explosion was carried out, the power of the explosive device was 10 kilotons.
In the 1990s, the region’s economy declined. However, by the end of the 20th century, there were some positive developments - the development of the coal industry in the first place. Special attention was paid to the development of open-pit coal mining, as a more effective and safe way.
