In this heartfelt episode of This is Public Health, we sit down with Phallisha Curtis, Chief of Women's Health Services at IDPH, to discuss life-saving resources provided by the Illinois Breast and Cervical Cancer Program (IBCCP). This program offers free screenings and services to uninsured and underinsured women across Illinois, giving them access to care.
We also hear from Halie, who shares her journey as a caregiver for her mother, a breast cancer patient who benefited from these services. Halie opens up about the importance of the support her family received, and the impact it had on her mother's care.
Join us for an inspiring conversation that sheds light on the power of public health programs in supporting individuals and families affected by breast cancer.
(And let this be your reminder to schedule your annual mammogram! Early detection saves lives.)
