Our Story

In an effort to address the high rates of breast
and cervical cancer in the female Hmong
community, the Milwaukee Consortium for
Hmong Health hosts a lay health education
program. The goal of the project is to reduce
barriers to the early detection and treatment
of breast and cervical cancer among Hmong
women by increasing knowledge about and
access to healthcare resources via local
Hmong women trained as community health

workers. Today, MCHH serves immigrants

and refugees from the broader

Southeast Asian American community.
