Lunch and Learn

The topic will be breast health and breast cancer. Hendricks will share her knowledge, and will be available to answer questions.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, an annual campaign to raise awareness of breast cancer and fund research, treatments and a cure. About one in eight U.S. women and one in 833 men will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of their lives. According to “Living Beyond Breast Cancer,” in 2022, an estimated 290,560 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in the U.S. along with 51,400 new cases of non-invasive breast cancer. An estimated 43,780 people will lose their lives to metastatic breast cancer. These number point out that there is still a lot of work to be done.
The ‘Lunch and Learns’ are open to everyone, and lunch is provided with the program. Please RSVP to 936-598-7744 or 936-598-3682.
