Schedule at a Glance

The American Cancer Society’s Women Leading the Way to Wellness Luncheon focuses on the prevention and early detection of cancer and how women’s health plays a critical role in this area. This is a priority at the American Cancer Society as we forge the way to not only find a cure for cancer but find a way to prevent it. Decreasing cancer occurrences is as important to us as finding a medical cure; though we continue to work tirelessly on both fronts to end cancer for everyone.
