DiepCfoundation.org http://www.diepcfoundation.org/ is a nonprofit 501c3 foundation empowering patients with education and options for breast reconstruction after mastectomy.
(1)

In 2016, DiepCFoundation, https://www.diepcfoundation.org/ was established as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization providing education and resources to empower people with information to make an informed decision about options for breast reconstruction after a mastectomy. Those who are affected by breast cancer after being diagnosed or are at high risk of getting breast cancer from a gene mutation,

have a lot to consider when thinking about their surgical options. Whether they choose to have reconstruction or not is a very personal decision. However, finding a surgeon who engages in a shared decision-making conversation takes time and research. The Foundation works with a global community of patients and surgeons. We listen, discuss, and learn from each other. Providing the best surgical outcomes for patients can only be achieved by doing this. From planning surgery, healing and recovery, and life beyond breast cancer and reconstruction, we are here to help you through your personal Journey. Founder and Director, Terri Coutee, https://www.diepcfoundation.org/founder/, a two-time breast cancer patient herself who went on to have successful breast reconstruction knows first hand the time and research it takes to walk this Journey. As a life-long educator, she believes education is empowerment. Breast Reconstruction is not for everyone, but knowing all your options is a right. Let us know how we can help you by providing the gift of education and personal support. You do not have to face this alone.

Our Founder and Director is a proud Alliance of Medical Tattooing Gold Member and Advisory Board Member. Thank you for sharing and spotlighting the work we do at the Foundation.

Today we’re spotlighting Terri Coutee — Founder and Director of the DIEP C Foundation, AMT Gold Member, and Advisory Board Member for the Alliance of Medical Tattooing.

Terri has become a leading advocate for breast reconstruction awareness and patient education following her own breast cancer journey. Through the DIEP C Foundation, she has helped provide education, support, and resources for individuals navigating DIEP flap breast reconstruction, recovery, and restorative care.

Her work has connected countless patients with surgeons, educational resources, support systems, and restorative options that can play an important role in the healing process after breast cancer and reconstruction.

Terri also continues to bring patients, advocates, medical professionals, and restorative specialists together through the upcoming DIEP C Foundation Breast Symposium taking place August 29th — an event focused on education, support, reconstruction awareness, and empowering survivors through information and community.

As part of the AMT Advisory Board, Terri brings the important perspective of patient advocacy and survivorship to conversations surrounding restorative and medical tattooing, helping ensure patient voices remain central to the future of this field.

We are honored to have Terri as part of the Alliance of Medical Tattooing community.
