The Los Angeles Witness Project®

The Witness Project® through WISE & Healthy Aging is an award-winning model program that trains women to make presentations in churches and community centers about the importance of early detection of breast and cervical cancers.

African Americans have the highest mortality rates from breast and cervical cancers. Education is an effective tool to increase participation in screening practices.

Presentations in churches and community sites are
scheduled on an ongoing basis.
