The event will offer free clinical breast exams performed by licensed healthcare professional Dr. Stephanie Mitchell, DNP, CNM, CPM, along with an educational on breast health, self-exams, and early detection. Community resources and support organizations will also be available .

“Breast cancer awareness isn’t just about wearing pink—it’s about taking action,” said Crystina Hughes in the press release. Hughes serves as the WAWC Healthcare Community Outreach Director.

“By providing accessible clinical breast exams and education, we aim to empower our community with the tools to protect their health.” “Last year we were able to assist a young lady with early detection of breast cancer; our clinic’s event was the starting point of her breast cancer journey. She is now in remission”

The event is free and open to the public. Just walk in and enjoy the event.
