The American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine (AUC), Collective Prevention Services (CPS), and the Positive Foundation are thrilled to announce free breast exams and health screenings for women. These events aim to educate and empower women about the risk factors and presentation of breast cancer while collecting data for a research project, the breast abnormalities survey.

“We are committed to educating the women on St. Maarten about being breast aware and the importance of early detection,” says Shelly Alphonso, President of the Positive Foundation. “By partnering with AUC and CPS for these free screenings, we hope to reach women who might not otherwise have access to these vital health services. Our goal is to educate and empower women to take charge of their breast health.”
We encourage
· Night shift workers, police officers, civil workers, store workers, and nurses who are 18 years and older to participate.
· First-time participants are especially welcome to join this year's AUC breast screenings.
This initiative has already collected data from over 660 women, with a target of reaching 1,000 women. By participating, you contribute to a significant community health project and help us achieve our goal. Reserve at least 2 hours in your schedule and register to be part of an opportunity to receive health information and a free clinical breast exam.
