Advocacy Campaigns

Breast Cancer Awareness

According to recent studies in ethnically diverse urban areas, various minority population segments, specifically Asian & African women in America have a fast rising incidence of Breast Cancer.

These women commonly have low breast cancer incidence rates in their home countries, & experience increasing rates of breast cancer after immigrating to the United States.

We believe that, through proactive programs consisting of awareness, early self and clinical detection and screening we can make an impact to reduce the breast cancer incidence rates amongst these vulnerable communities

HIV/AIDS Awareness & Prevention

Recent HIV/AIDS studies show evidence that HIV prevalence (the # of people living with HIV/AIDS) increased 11% from 2003 to 2006. This increase is due to the fact that improvements in anti-retroviral treatment have greatly extended the lifespan of people with HIV, because more people become infected than die from the disease each year.

Whereas the treatment options and improvements have served to reduce the mortality rates, this new trend creates a strong case for ongoing monitoring and awareness campaigns, to aggressively reduce the rate of new infections.
