So thankful to be a part of the Backstretch Women's Event at Keeneland with many of our partners. The rainfall didn't dampen the spirit or the attendance. Seventy women, nearly all of them Keeneland track workers, attended and 20 were screened on site with the Mobile Mammography van. A great day for education and outreach.

Today we are making our first ever appearance at the Mayo Underwood Building as we spread the word about breast and cervical cancer screening. The 2025 state employee health fairs have been incredible as we have had a chance to meet nearly 1,000 people and share the message of early detection and treatment.
