Your Health Connection Features Ebony Steele, Dr. Jackie Walters, Breast Cancer Awareness

Your Health Connection for October features Breast Cancer Awareness Month, surviving the diagnosis and treatment.  Host JaQuitta Williams, a survivor herself, is joined by fellow survivor Ebony Steele and Dr. Jackie Walters.  They will take your calls live about getting beyond the pink ribbons and cliches and getting on with the choices and issues involved when you live with breast cancer yourself or have a loved one who lives with it.  Your Health Connection airs Wednesday, October 15 at 6pm exclusively on WCLK.

Your Health Connection is made possible by the Center For Cancer Research and Therapeutic Development at Clark Atlanta University.  For more about their good work, click here.
