Lincy Machorro is the Program Coordinator for the Women's Information Network Against Breast Cancer Organization (WIN ABC)-- a national non-profit organization.  

Ms. Machorro has a background in management and international business. Prior to joining WIN ABC in 2001, Ms. Machorro’s career was dedicated to benefiting children and adults with Muscular Dystrophy (MD) diseases. Her responsibility was to assist individuals with MD and their families in finding resources to help them deal with the physical challenges of this debilitating illness as well as the psychological impact it has on their lives.

Ms. Machorro was born in Costa Rica and has been residing in the Los Angeles area for over 18 years. Her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 40 and lost her battle to breast cancer when she was only 43. It is Ms. Machorro’s desire now to work with breast cancer patients and their families in order that she may make a difference in their lives and, in so doing, honor the memory of her mother.

Ms. Machorro will oversee the Breast Buddy Breast Care Program for indigent and underserved patients at Harbor/UCLA and Martin Luther King/Drew University Medical Centers.  The Project provides newly diagnosed breast cancer patients with culturally sensitive and linguistically appropriate information and focuses on improving consumer health care decision-making through education, coaching and psychosocial support.

In addition to her responsibilities as the Program Coordinator, Ms. Machorro will help to coordinate additional community outreach programs for specific populations.  Lincy’s background, skills and experience make her an asset to those she serves.

Ms. Machorro serves on the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (DHS) Breast Care Coordinator’s Sub-Committee and will be working closely with the DHS Office of Women’s Health in implementing the Breast Buddy Program at the county medical centers.

Her hobbies include reading, watching movies and crafting. Ms. Machorro can be reached by contacting WIN Against Breast Cancer at (626) 332-2255, email: lincy@winabc.org.
