“We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Kohl’s Cares,” said Nikki Panico, Susan G. Komen of Southeast Wisconsin’s executive director. “We have seen tremendous success since launching the Kohl’s Conversations for the Cure program five years ago. By engaging local women in crucial conversations about their breast health, we are empowering women to become their own health advocates and providing support when they need it most.”
