What We Care About!
Dispelling Myths about Breast Cancer
Unfortunately, misinformation has a high impact on our decisions regarding healthcare. Therefore, our aim is to end myths about breast cancer in our community.
Preventative Healthcare
We want to encourage and stress the necessity of preventative healthcare measures such as monthly Breast Self Exams (BSE), annual mammograms, and annual physicals.
Mastectomy Support
Mastectomies are life changing for women. We are set to provide tips and support before, during, and after a mastectomy.
Mammograms and Other Screenings
We are oriented to find ways to assist with Mammograms and screenings such as genetic testing for people of color that do not have health insurance.
Support for our Breast Cancer Warriors
We provide resources to support Breast Cancer patients during their battle.
Fertility Options for Cancer Patients and Survivors
Family planning is important and when you are stricken with cancer, you must consider your fertility options.
