The Alliance in Reconstructive Surgery (AiRS) Foundation mission: To be a resource and a support system for the women who have had mastectomies as a result of breast cancer or BRCA+ genetic mutations, educating them on reconstruction options, and ultimately assisting them with the cost of reconstructive surgery.
Founded in 2012, by Dr. Janet Denlinger and Morgan Hare, the founders of eraclea®, and Dr. Rod Rohrich, AiRS is an advocate for restorative breast surgery, a vital part of total physical and emotional healing for many breast cancer survivors.
The Foundation offers funding for breast cancer reconstruction and nipple tattooing, as well as education for physicians and the medical communities, mastectomy patients, caregivers and advocacy organizations. While every woman who has had a mastectomy might not feel the need for reconstructive surgery, AiRS makes it possible for women to consider all options regardless of their economic circumstances.
