Vail Health is excited to offer this opportunity for the Vail Valley Business Women and friends to hear from their Shaw Cancer Center team to help you learn ways to keep you healthy in 2024. We will have team members available to talk with you about nutrition, exercise, breast health and genetic counseling. 

Additionally, you'll have the chance to take a behind-the-scenes tour of the Shaw Cancer Center and tour the radiation area. This experience will provide insight into the post-mammogram process. Dr. Jinnah Phillips, a Breast Radiologist, will share firsthand what she examines in a scan and how she identifies signs of breast cancer in a woman's breast.

Sarah Giovagnoli, MS Fit for Survival is Shaw’s on-site oncology rehab gym, open Monday through Thursday. Exercise physiologist Sarah Giovagnoli meets with patients, during, or post treatment, to design customized exercise programs that meet individual’s needs and goals. Participants in Fit for Survival are instructed in aerobic conditioning, strength training, range of motion and balance exercises to increase fitness, minimize symptoms of treatment, and promote overall well-being.

Melanie Hendershott, RDN, CSO Nutrition plays a vital role in helping cancer patients during treatment. Melaine Hendershott is one of our Spirit of Survival registered dietitian. Patients in our survivorship program work with our dietitians to create individualized nutrition plans, learn how to prepare quick and healthy meals, and maintain a healthy body composition during treatment. Good nutrition can help maintain energy and strength, reduce the risk of infection, improve tolerance to side-effects, and promote healing and recovery.

Vickie Zacher RT (R)(M)(BS) is the Supervisor over the Breast Imaging Centers. She has worked in health care for 31 years. Breast imaging can detect cancer before there are signs or symptoms of the disease. Detecting cancer in the early stage plays a pivotal role in treating the cancer. We accept appointments Monday through Friday 7:45 to 5:30.
