During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the SAGE Study research team, including members of our OT department Kathy Lyons, Colleen Muse, and Sheel Singh, would like to recognize and thank the 303 women who participated in our previous study of an occupational therapy program designed to foster full recovery after breast cancer treatment! Their experiences, contributions, and engagement have led us to the next step in our research: the SAGE study, which will begin enrolling participants in January 2027. Stay tuned for more updates!

Food Friday during SiHP’s CAP! 🍽️
Our clients planned a meal and then brought their plans to life in the kitchen! Along the way, some explored adaptive meal prep equipment, while others learned how to adapt a recipe to make it easier to follow. Because all of our clients have aphasia, practicing communication skills throughout was essential, from planning and following recipes to preparing a meal together!
