More Health, Less Cancer: Collective Wisdom for Prevention

By Midwest Mujeres

Next Thursday, May 22nd at 6:00 PM , we invite you to a very special event at our office at 306 E Wilson St, Suite #2E, Madison, WI : a powerful community conversation titled "More Health, Less Cancer: Collective Wisdom for Prevention."

This talk will be led by our beloved contributor, Fernanda Alayo , a registered nurse (BSN RN) and oncology and chemotherapy infusion specialist at the Karmanos Cancer Institute in Michigan.

This workshop will be in Spanish, mainly. We will have some networking time.

Women over the age of 50 are very much welcome to join!

Fernanda is a Madisonian at heart, and although her professional path has taken her out of state, her commitment to the health of our Latino community remains steadfast.

She believes that cancer prevention begins with knowledge—not only that which comes from medical science, but also that which is passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, this event will combine ancestral wisdom, medical education, and storytelling as key tools to empower and care for one another.

From our very first Mujeres workshop

At Midwest Mujeres, we are honored to have Fernanda as our bilingual blogger and editor . Her work has been instrumental in amplifying the voices of our community and making critical health information accessible in both languages. Her unique approach—blending clinical data with real stories—allows more women to understand the importance of screening and be encouraged to take action for their health.

This event is free and open to all ages! There will be time to share questions, stories, and advice with fellowship partners.

Parking available at: Summit Credit Union – 307 E Wilson St.
