More from LifestyleWhile progress is being made in cancer prevention, detection and treatment, many racial and ethnic communities, as well as the medically underserved, continue to have higher rates of cancer mortality because they are less likely to be diagnosed early or receive optimal treatment.
The week of April 20-26 is National Multicultural Cancer Awareness Week, affording a chance to focus on the health of our communities. In that regard, the American Cancer Society is conducting breast cancer screenings in the coming days, targeting underserved women.
On Thursday, in collaboration with St. John's Regional Medical Center, the Oxnard farmers market and Clinicas del Camino Real, Cancer Society outreach staff will help an audience of primarily Hispanic women all morning at the Oxnard farmers market, at Fifth and C streets. From 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., medically needy women will be offered free breast cancer screenings with free follow-up mammograms set for April 26 at St. Johns Regional Medical Center.
