Women At Risk (WAR®) is the Breast Cancer Program at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center, whose mission is enhance the lives of women at high risk for, and with, breast cancer through research, education and support.
Women At Risk was founded in 1991 by a grassroots partnership of physicians and patient/volunteers who recognized that high-risk women would benefit most from interventions aimed at early diagnosis of breast cancer. Women At Risk has expanded dramatically, growing to meet the needs of women in the New York Metropolitan area not only at high risk for breast cancer but also for women undergoing treatment for the disease.
Research is the centerpiece of WAR's activity, providing seed money for research projects dedicated to breast cancer.
WAR's High-Risk Program and Registry aims to provide the best possible care, treatment, education and support for women at high risk for breast cancer.
WAR sponsors educational programs on a wide range of breast cancer-related and other women's health issues at no cost to the public.
Support is offered to breast cancer patients and survivors, their family and friends through monthly support groups, WAR's Resource Library, and a Patient Navigator.
Community programs for the underserved in upper Manhattan are a cornerstone of WAR's activities.
