The Keep a Breast App is available as a free download on the Apple Store and Google Play to empower women to be their own health advocate.  You can set a reminder to check yourself each month one week after completing your menstrual cycle (including tips if you don't have a cycle).  The app provides a step by step tutorial with instructions and tips for how to thoroughly self-check your breasts. The new addition of this app offers direct access to virtual care through Carbon Health Partner to support women who detect any abnormalities.]]> 2020-09-23 14:09:11 UTC https://padlet.com/rhapsodychristineonderko/too9z8jvpxm1sjxh/wish/772155606 rhapsodychristineonderko https://padlet.com/rhapsodychristineonderko/too9z8jvpxm1sjxh/wish/772199971 Keep a Breast Foundation and Carbon Health Partner

I am excited to take on this challenge and passionate about promoting the Keep a Breast App to raise awareness and empower women to make breast self-checks a part of their lives.  I want Faith (futuristic) on my team to help us come up with a vision for how we will promote the Keep a Breast App.  Andrew (activator) may compliment Faith well and help to energize the plans and ideas  Faith has and put those visions into motion.  Fernando (focus) will help everyone stay on track.  Pablo (positivity) will help everyone continue to move forward and energize the group when obstacles arise.  Finally, it would be great to have William (woo) on the team because he would help to engage the largest number of people and network to build awareness about the Keep a Breast App among a large group of people. ]]> 2020-09-23 14:35:35 UTC https://padlet.com/rhapsodychristineonderko/too9z8jvpxm1sjxh/wish/772286717 rhapsodychristineonderko https://padlet.com/rhapsodychristineonderko/too9z8jvpxm1sjxh/wish/772287614 Editors, M.
