Dr. Renato Saltz founded the Image Reborn Foundation in 1998 and currently serves as its President. As a renowned plastic surgeon, he recognized that there is a need for patients to emotionally heal and rebuild after cancer, and although women receive tremendous medical care throughout their cancer journey, their complex emotional needs often are unaddressed.
The Foundation’s mission is to provide no-cost healing retreats to women diagnosed with breast cancer and to assist them in living rich and fulfilling lives. Weekend-long retreats are held in luxury accommodations in and around Park City. Survivors may attend at any time during their cancer journey and each retreat is focused on providing support and renewal in an informal setting.
