Hallelujah to Health!

means taking phenomenal care of yourself !

This means as African-American women we need to learn more about breast and cervical cancer and more about ourselves! This website will share…

Spirit

Cancer is scary to think about, but ignoring it is dangerous.

You have faced scary things before—you have the strength of spirit to learn about your body and about detecting cancer.

Power

You have the power to use the tests provided by your doctor and to find cancer, if it happens, early. When you find it early, treatment is more successful.

Using your power can save your life.

Sisterhood

African-American women get cancer less often than other women, but they are more likely to die from it. One reason for this is that African-American women get tested for cancer less often, so when it is found, the cancer is more advanced and harder to treat.

This Hallelujah to Health website was created especially for you, an African-American woman. This website will tell you about breast and cervical cancer, what puts you at higher risk for these cancers, and the symptoms of each disease. This website will also discuss the screening tools used to detect these cancers.

You have the spirit to learn about your body and the power to get tested—you are a phenomenal woman!

When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It’s in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
The palm of my hand,
The need for my care,
’Cause I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.

Maya Angelou
“Phenomenal Woman”

As a woman, you take
phenomenal care
of everyone
and everything.
Children, relatives, neighbors, friends, church members,
and more.

You are a
phenomenal woman.
Now it’s time to take
phenomenal care
of yourself.
