Dr. LaSalle D. Leffall Jr. was a nationally respected cancer surgeon, educator, and advocate for early cancer detection and prevention. Throughout his career, Dr. Leffall emphasized the importance of prevention, screening, and addressing health disparities that disproportionately impact Black communities. His leadership helped advance cancer education and improve outcomes through awareness and timely care. His work reinforces a critical public health truth: prevention saves lives, especially when communities have access to accurate information and support. UAPB To***co proudly celebrates Dr. LaSalle D. Leffall Jr. and his enduring commitment to prevention, education, and healthier communities.

Sometimes the healthiest choice isn’t adding more, it’s releasing what no longer serves us. Stress, pressure, and unhealthy habits can take a toll over time. Prioritizing balance, support, and informed health decisions helps build resilience for the long run. Wellness is a journey, and every step toward healthier choices matters.
