West Chester, Pa (Enero 13, 2025) – Unite for HER, a nonprofit organization that supports individuals battling breast and ovarian cancer, recently expanded their headquarters in Malvern thanks, in part, to state grant funding secured by state Senator Carolyn Comitta.

Comitta, who serves on the Pennsylvania Women’s Health Caucus and the Black Maternal Health Caucus, secured $50,000 in funding for Unite for HER, which supports breast cancer and ovarian cancer patients by providing integrative therapies, services, education, and resources at no personal cost.

“Having a strong community that lifts us up is vital, and the Chester County community has consistently demonstrated its unwavering support for our mission and outreach. We are truly thankful for this partnership and the opportunity to continue making a difference in the lives of those affected by breast cancer,” said Sue Weldon, Unite for HER CEO/Founder. “With this grant, we were able to complete necessary renovations on our new building to ensure Unite for HER has a home in Chester County for years to come.”

“Unite for HER offers wellness services, compassionate care, and a sense of community to thousands of women who are impacted by breast and ovarian cancer,” Comitta said. “Watching this organization grow to fill the vital needs of so many is a testament to the transformative power of its programs. I am proud to secure this state funding so Unite for HER can help even more women, especially those in underrepresented communities.”

Founded in 2009 by Weldon, a breast cancer survivor, Unite for HER aims to enhance the wellness and care of women diagnosed with breast and ovarian cancer by helping address their emotional, spiritual, and physical needs. Since then, the organization has grown and expanded to help heal, empower, and restore those impacted by these cancers nationwide.

“We are deeply grateful and honored by the trust and support extended by Senator Comitta and her team in choosing to back our community affected by breast cancer in such a meaningful way. This generous support will have a significant impact, enabling us to expand our programs and meet the growing needs of those we serve at Unite for HER,” Weldon said.

Comitta is a strong and consistent supporter of initiatives to improve the health and wellness of women, mothers, and girls. She supported Act 1 of 2023, the landmark legislation that requires insurers to cover preventive breast and ovarian cancer screenings for high-risk women at no cost. Comitta has also backed investments and legislation aimed at preventing maternal mortality, ensuring access to reproductive healthcare, and expanding access to postpartum care.
