Why are individuals of Jewish descent at higher risk for genetic-related cancers and diseases? In partnership with Sharsheret and JScreen, an organization affiliated with Emory University that does both Reproductive Carrier Screening and Hereditary Cancer Testing, folks interested in cancer screening or couples in the family-planning stages will learn from a local Genetic Counselor, hear from community members who have benefitted from carrier and cancer screening and learn how to mitigate their risks at this community-wide public health screening event.
This event is being held at The JKC. 5801 W 115th St, Overland Park, KS 66211
