October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but sometimes awareness isn’t enough. Education is key, especially when it comes to prevention, and that was the theme throughout the El Centro de Corazón health clinic at the Magnolia Community Center Tuesday morning.
Tuesday was ‘A Crucial Catch Day’ at El Centro, an event that raised breast cancer awareness, and more importantly, educated women in the Houston community about the importance of early detection.
“The importance of this event is education,” Marcie Mir, CEO of El Centro said. “Especially in the Hispanic community, we find there’s a need to educate our community about breast cancer and getting preventative services such as screenings and mammograms.
