Survive and Thrive 2025
A Breast Health 6-Week Program | In collaboration Carle Health
This program is FREE to attend! Please register below to reserve your spot.
About The Program
Survive & Thrive empowers women through breast cancer education, prevention, and wellness programming that is accessible, culturally responsive, and community-based.
Why It Matters
Breast cancer affects women of all backgrounds, but African-American women are 40% more likely to die from breast cancer than White women.
This program addresses the root causes — late diagnosis, lack of education, and limited access to care — by providing knowledge, tools, and support. With the right resources, prevention and early detection are possible.
What You'll Gain
- Confidence in breast health and early detection
- Nutrition strategies and culturally relevant cooking demos
- Tools for mental wellness, resilience, and stress reduction
- Simple movement and fitness practices that work for any level
- Guidance on navigating the healthcare system and advocating for yourself
- Connection to a supportive community committed to wellness
