NOTE: There is no charge, but please call the BSKI office (725-6230) to let us know you will attend. We want to be sure to have materials for all participants.

This is a free, community-wide program to inform women of all ages about early detection strategies in breast cancer. Check It Out consists of an interactive discussion about breast health, warning signs of cancer, early detection and treatment, and related psycho-social issues. It is presented by a registered nurse, a cancer survivor, a moderator, and a social worker in an age-appropriate, upbeat dialogue with participants.

Each participant will receive:

• A take-home breast model for discussion with family members about how to detect abnormal breast lumps.
• Educational pamphlets encouraging dialogue with family members and friends.
• Community contacts for further information, mammography screening and coverage information, and community support groups.
• A bag with gifts and additional information on our supporting organizations.
