Hollye Jacobs

Hollye Jacobs is a speaker, nurse, social worker, child development specialist, and author. Diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010, she speaks publicly and writes about her experience on the award-winning The Silver Pen blog.

Hollye has extensive experience speaking nationally on a family centered approach to working with families facing life-threatening illnesses, bioethics, and grief and bereavement. Her professional knowledge as a health practitioner and her personal experiences as a cancer patient and survivor present a powerful wisdom package. People benefit from her insights, humor and informed perspective on the breast cancer cycle—from detection through treatment, recovery, and life after cancer.
