Sisters
Breast Cancer Survivors Network is
a grassroots, multicultural organization that was formed in early
1994 by a group of nine African American women – all breast
cancer survivors – who, together, recognized to lift the veil
of silence in our communities regarding this disease.
The
Sister’s organization specifically targets African American women in Los Angeles, Compton and Inglewood areas, who are socio
– economically disadvantaged, single and head of the household.
The ages of the targeted women range from 40 to 80 years and the majority
of them are either uninsured or underinsured. Based on a national survey,
these are the women least likely to have regular scheduled mammograms.
In
addition to the targeted women, Sisters welcomes all women who are in
need of support and friendship.
