In celebration of Black History Month, a significant health and wellness event is set to provide free mammogram screenings to the community. This initiative aims to raise awareness about breast health and encourage early detection of potential issues. The event is a collaborative effort supported by Kristi's Klimbers and the Broadway Missionary Baptist Church, showcasing a commitment to promoting health equity within the community.
Participants will have the opportunity to receive vital mammogram screenings at no cost, making this a valuable resource for individuals who may not have access to such services otherwise.

Community members are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity, as early detection can significantly improve treatment outcomes. The event exemplifies a proactive approach to health and wellness, fostering a supportive environment for all attendees.
