In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Baptist Health – Fort Smith is partnering with the Reynolds Cancer Support House to provide free education to Hispanic women in our community.
Studies show that Hispanic women are more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer at later stages, when it’s more difficult to treat.
According to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, this could be due to a lack of knowledge about recommended screenings, as well as a lack of access to care and language barriers.
The event is free to community members and will be held Tuesday, Oct. 22, from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Reynolds Cancer Support House located at 3324 South M St. in Fort Smith.
