DCSI Partners With Detroit Churches

Volunteers from Detroit Cancer Screening Initiative (DCSI) raised awareness about early cancer screening during a health fair for members of Perfecting Church in Detroit. This was one of a number of events hosted in 2023-2024 in Metro Detroit. African Americans are more likely to be impacted by late-stage cancer diagnosis due to disparities in health care and other factors. Churches and barber shops have been great venues to spread the word about affordable and accessible early screening.
