The American Cancer Society reports that the Black community has the highest death rate and shortest survival for most types of cancer in the United States. In an effort to change this, the Phoenix chapter of The Links, Incorporated is hosting the Black Wellness Family Expo. This event aims to educate people about their diagnosis and promote awareness of various health conditions, including breast and prostate cancer, kidney disease, and heart health. Free health screenings, mammograms, and car seat safety checks will be available at the event, along with access to health care information and services.
