FaithHealth in Action

FaithHealth in Action (FHIA) is an outreach and education initiative of the Carol Milgard Breast Center (CMBC). Through this outreach, the breast center is partnering with local African-American, Pacific Islander and Hispanic churches to build upon or create a health ministry. Our hope is to increase awareness about breast and prostate cancer and to encourage preventative behaviors.  In partnership with local churches, our goal is to reduce breast and prostate cancer mortality rates and positively impact the overall health and wellbeing of the women and men in the Tacoma-Pierce County region.

Churches selected to participate in FaithHealth in Action will be part of a cohort of churches that will design activities around breast and prostate health. The program lasts for one year with the option of participating in a second year of programming. Features include:
