EARLY DETECTION
SAVES LIVES!
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Black women in the US. Breast cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death among women.1
Black women in the U.S. are about 40% more likely to die from breast cancer than white women.1
We created Sister Give Me Your Hand to create better breast cancer outcomes for Black Women. We work with community partners to raise awareness and education about issues that affect breast cancer and Black women. We also work with mobile mammography vans, offer weekend and evening hours to make screening more accessible.
