"Very few people check for cancer or have checkups every year because
they do not know how screening can help provide protection and early
detection. Now I can tell and teach my family and friends about the
importance of breast and cervical cancer early detection and screening."
- Niruntree Sakulkoo, HEAL:BCC Student
"I think it is an overused word, but I believe the learners really did feel
empowered. They thought if you get cancer that was it, there was nothing
you could do. But, after going through this class and hearing people share
their personal stories about cancer, there was a real attitudinal change.
I think this is the most important thing about teaching health in general
and cancer in particular."
