Product Description:

Healthcare providers often overlook the social stigma associated with a breast cancer patient's deteriorating physical appearance related to disease treatment. Such stigmas compound patient misfortune. At St. Luke's Cancer Institute, in Kansas City, MO, healthcare providers created Missy's Mirror to alleviate patients' discomfort associated with their weakening physical self-image. Missy's Mirror is a 1,000-square-foot boutique located on the same floor as St. Luke's Medical Oncology and gynecological oncology practices. It provides breast cancer patients with a wide variety of clothing, makeup, and gift items.
