We are an affiliate of the only National African American breast cancer survivorship organization, Sisters Network© Inc. which is located in Houston, Texas.
The primary objective is to unite with Central Florida communities, health care agencies and faith-based organizations to ensure that all African American women are empowered with the information and resources they need to take charge of their own health.
The best defense against breast cancer starts with you!
Sisters Network, Inc.© recommends these steps for early detection:
- Monthly breast self exam (BSE) starting at age 20.
- Clinical breast examination by a trained medical professional every 2-3 years beginning at age 20 and annually after age 40.
- Mammography screening every one to two years for women ages 35-40 (if your mother or sister has had breast cancer, you may need to get mammogram earlier and more frequently)
- ANNUAL MAMMOGRAM SCREENING is recommended for women age 40+.
We invite you to our meetings, participate in our programs or donate so we may continue serving our community.
