Package of Prevention

Обо мне:

Package of Prevention is a non-profit organization committed to educating people about the importance of cancer prevention and early detection. Through seminars, talks, and health awareness events, Package of Prevention empowers all people regardless of age, race, gender, and income level to make informed decisions about their health and decrease their chances of being diagnosed with cancer. At Package of Prevention, we feel it is necessary to educate people about cancer prevention at a young age. We also believe children and grandchildren of at risk groups can play a significant role in communicating the importance of cancer prevention to their loved ones. Courtney H. Smith founded Package of Prevention in her early twenties shortly after losing her mother to both breast cancer and leukemia. Ms. Smith founded the organization after completing her M.A. in Communication Management at the University of Southern California in 2006 and her B.A in Communication also from the University of Southern California in 2005. Ms. Smith credits her mother’s inspiration for her passion to educate individuals about the importance of early detection and cancer prevention. She pledges to reach out to as many individuals as possible in hopes to spark conversation about cancer and demystifying the negative stigma, which makes people so scared to talk about the illness. She states, “It is important to remember there is hope after a cancer diagnosis. We just have to remember to be proactive patients and seek knowledge for our families and ourselves.”
