Karmanos Cancer Institute partners with Detroit Health Department for accessible cancer screenings

Rhonda Walker, urging timely breast cancer screenings, shared her experience to highlight the ease and importance of mammograms during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Dr. Kamilia Skalski from Karmanos Cancer Institute emphasized that annual mammograms are vital as breast cancer often shows no symptoms until it spreads. Rhonda's advocacy inspired many, including Karen Burks and Angela Lewis, to get screened at a Detroit Health Department clinic, underscoring the necessity of accessible resources. Through partnerships with Karmanos, patients receive swift, comfortable screenings, with Rhonda's experience reinforcing the procedure's quick and mostly painless nature.
