What is breast health care?
Breast health care is about sistas taking care of themselves and each other.  Often our folks don't go to the doctor and get checked because we don't have the money, time, or someone to watch our kids.

Why is breast health care so important?
Letting yourself go is only going to end up hurting the people you care about.  If you're not ok, who's going to take care of everybody else?
