Education & Resources 

To truly eradicate breast cancer, we must not only invest in research for a cure for future generations, but we must also help meet the immediate breast health needs of women and their families facing the disease today.

In addition to raising funds for breast health programs for underserved women in the Acadiana area, Komen Acadiana offers an Education and Outreach program to educate and raise awareness among ALL families in our community that EARLY DETECTION SAVES LIVES.  Early detection and treatment offer the best chance of cure and ultimately survival.  When the disease is confined to the breast, the 5-year survival rate is now 98%.

Komen's Recommendations for Good Breast Health include:

      KNOW WHAT IS NORMAL FOR YOU.

• GET SCREENED.
• KNOW YOUR HISTORY.
• MAKE HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CHOICES.

 Make these actions part of your life.  You are the cure.
