Theme: Celebrating Women's Health
We are thankful to Vanessa Bell Calloway and Eloise Laws, breast cancer survivors whose inspiration and empowerment graced our one of our Annual Breast & Whole Health Breakfast Forum.
The Wellness Group, a grassroots 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to breast health and healthy lifestyles, was established in 1994. It has since become a vital resource within the African American community. Its mission is to raise awareness about breast and overall health among under-resourced and underserved African American women across Los Angeles County.
Michelle, the founding President of The Wellness Group, is deeply committed to the initiative because, although there are no established methods to prevent breast cancer, early detection via self-examination, clinical screenings, and mammography can significantly lower mortality rates. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among African Americans, surpassed only by lung cancer, as reported by the California Department of Health Services.
Mission: To inform, educate, and empower under-resourced African American women about breast health and overall wellness.
Our vision is to lower the mortality rate among African American women through education on early detection, self-breast exams, participation in clinical trials, and the importance of annual clinical breast examinations and mammograms.
Our heartfelt thanks go to all the past presenters who have collaborated with The Wellness Group to educate, empower, and inspire women.
Some previous presenters include Mrs. Mae L. Blake, Mrs. Charlie Jordan Brookins, Vanessa Bell Calloway, Dr. Suzanne Cutter, MD, Dr. Dennis Holmes, MD, Dr. Ronald Hurst, MD, Ms. Eloise Laws, Dr. Betty R. Price, Dr. Robina Smith, MD, Deborah Smith Pegues, Barbara A. Perkins, Jewel Diamond Taylor, Congresswoman Maxine Waters, and Ms. T.S. Wilson.
