Bridging the Gap in Cancer Education & Support

Latinas Contra Cancer’s Community Health Education program offers trusted, culturally rooted information to support cancer prevention, early detection, and navigation of the healthcare system. Grounded in cultural humility and a commitment to health equity, our approach centers the voices and experiences of those most impacted by systemic barriers to care. Through our Promotoras Model, trained community health educators provide bilingual workshops in the neighborhoods and spaces where our community members live, work, and gather, often in collaboration with trusted local partners. These education sessions help build the power of individuals to make informed decisions, reduce cancer risk, and advocate for their health with confidence.

At LCC, we believe that when community members are informed and supported, they lead healthier lives and strengthen the well-being of those around them.
