Cancer prevention begins with a healthy lifestyle
Nutrition, exercise and good health highlight this Hispanic workshop at Cristo Rey Parish, 800 Wisconsin Avenue, Racine, on Saturday September 25, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
A select group of healthy dishes will be prepared by the participants on site and will provide the refreshments at the conclusion of the program.
Fabiola Diaz, a bilingual Spanish-speaking nutrition educator with the University of Wisconsin Extension, will present this program on healthy lifestyles for women and their families. She has been with UW Extension for nine years, working with youth in classrooms and in after-school programs as well as with adults in both Racine and Kenosha counties.
The program will be presented in Spanish and will be limited to 80 participants.
Reservations should be made with Cristo Rey Parish, or at the following:
St. Patrick's Catholic Church, 1100 Erie Street
Emmaus Lutheran Church, 1925 Summit Avenue
Health Care Network, 904 State Street
The morning program will include a presentation about breast cancer and the need for screening procedures such as a mammogram. Annual mammograms result in early detection and early treatment, thus saving lives. Someone from Wisconsin Well Woman will be on site to answer your questions and register you for a mammogram, at little or no cost to you.
