Plexāā and Living Beyond Breast Cancer Partner to Bring Prehab™ to the Forefront of Surgical Care
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Los Angeles, CA – March 24, 2026 – Plexāā, creator of the BLOOM⁴³ Prehab™ Platform, has announced a new partnership with Living Beyond Breast Cancer (LBBC) , a national non-profit organization that connects people impacted by breast cancer with expert information and a community that understands, to help make Prehab™ — the practice of preparing body and mind before surgery — an expected part of surgical care everywhere.
The partnership marks a meaningful step toward redefining what it means to be “surgery ready.” Through collaborations like this and the development of its own clinically validated educational tools, Plexāā is building a future where Prehab becomes the standard of care for surgical patients.
“Every patient asks what they can do to prepare for surgery and heal better, but for too long, we’ve left them underprepared,” said Saahil Mehta, MD, FRCS(Plast), Founder and CEO of Plexāā. “We created BLOOM⁴³ to change that — giving patients evidence-based information, holistic content, and practical tools they can use to strengthen both their mindset and body before surgery.”
Available as a free app, BLOOM⁴³ delivers trusted, expert-led education on types of surgery available, customized Prehab™ and Rehab Programs, and patient-focused content on topics like stress, sleep, nutrition, mobility, and emotional health, helping patients understand and actively participate in their surgical journey. The BLOOM⁴³ app combines with the BLOOM⁴³ medical device, which is FDA-registered and HSA/FSA-eligible to support patients before surgery, improve their experience, and drive significantly better outcomes through the power of supraphysiological preconditioning™ ¹.]
Through this partnership, LBBC has officially woven Prehab™ into its digital surgical resources at https://www.lbbc.org/about-breast-cancer/treatments/surgery/preparingsurgery — ensuring patients nationwide can access evidenced-based information and actionable steps to support recovery long before the first incision. Prehab™ is now synonymous with pre-surgical care on LBBC’s website, and Plexāā believes this milestone is just the beginning.
“Partnering with LBBC is about more than collaboration — it’s about momentum,” said Nichole W. Owens, U.S. Patient Champion for BLOOM⁴³ and nine-year breast cancer survivor. “We’re proud to stand alongside organizations committed to helping patients take ownership of their healing journey. Together, we’re leading the Prehab™ movement forward.”
Plexāā continues to expand its network of advocacy and healthcare partners who share the belief that empowering patients before surgery leads to better outcomes after.
