Health education for women is key to cancer prevention. Every person has a BRCA gene, but sometimes mutations occur that prevent genes from doing the job properly. The gynecologic oncologist, Dr. Christine Walsh of CU Anschutz, will be presenting the science behind the gene and why it is critical that everyone knows their status. We will discuss the barriers to testing and hear personal stories on how the test can save a life. Our speakers will address issues concerning life insurance, mental health support, and what happens next. Everyone who qualifies is eligible for a free screening test.
