Target 2: Women's Healthcare and Wellness |
Women’s Healthcare and Wellness program raises community awareness about important health issues affecting African American women. There are 4 focuses under this program:
Breast Cancer Awareness and Prevention.
The AKA Mobile Breast Cancer Screening Unit travels to locations and provides mammogram screening. Sigma Lambda Omega chapter’s goal is to partner with medical facilities and hospitals to emphasize the need for women of African descent to receive regular mammograms.
Heart Health.
Continues as a focus for sorority members to commit to healthy hearts through being active in fitness and walking. Sigma Lambda Omega encourages the community to join us in Walking for Heart Health.
Nutrition and Wellness.
Focuses on healthy lifestyles for all ages from prenatal, childhood, adult to seniors with an emphasis on healthy eating for longer and healthier life.
Care for the Caregivers.
Focuses on taking care of those who care for those in need. Sigma Lambda Omega promotes the need for caregivers to practice preventive healthcare and self-care to remove the risks associated with the stress of being a caregiver.
