AWCAA & City of Greenbelt Community Health Fair

The importance of early detection of breast cancer cannot be overemphasized. Detecting breast cancer at an early stage increases the chances of one surviving from the disease. At this stage it is easier to manage, treat and less expensive. With these in mind, AWCAA in partnership with Breast Care for Washington is bringing another free mammogram screening day to our community!

On October 27, 2022, a mammo-van will be brought to our headquarter office in Maryland for women to be screened for free. We are excited about this event because we partnered with the Mayor of Greenbelt to create a community health fair with music, food and wellness activities.

The subsequent dates for free mammogram screening at our AWCAA office are as follows: Thursday, October 27, 2022; Time: 9:00 Am- 2:00 PM

One of our goals at AWCAA is to reduce the breast cancer mortality rate among African immigrant communities. We have seen that one effective way to do that is to ensure that breast cancer is detected early. We are glad that we are reaching this goal through this mammography screening. We look forward to seeing you there!
