The Tuolumne Me-Wuk Indian Health Center proudly announces its first Women’s Wellness Event on September 9, 2023. This event will be intimate with information booths, raffle items, giveaways, cooking demonstrations, women’s self-defense information, and vendors. Havilah Plaster will also provide acoustic music at the event. The event’s primary purpose is to raise awareness for breast cancer and its importance for early detection. According to the California Breast Cancer Research Program, nearly 200,000 California women are living with breast cancer, and more than 4,200 will die of the disease this year. According to Dee Baldwin, the Outreach Manager for Tuolumne Me-Wuk Indian Health Center, “This is just one of many events our Outreach Program is organizing in 2023-2024. Our goal of the program is to not only form partnerships with other community resources but also to improve and extend the reach of health care through these events to everyone in our community.”
