our mission:
Arts & Wellness was formed in 2015 to bring awareness to a potential silent killer; cervical cancer. We are a grassroots nonprofit organization of Trailhead Institute. Arts & Wellness develops and implements plans to increase the rate of cervical cancer screenings; to increase awareness and the importance of HPV vaccination rate for children.
Since 2015, Arts & Wellness has provided cervical cancer screenings to 5,436+ women who visited 9HealthFairs (9HF). We have participated in numerous health fairs providing brochures, pamphlets, and other educational materials in metro areas communities. Our funding comes from our annual fundraiser held each January, community organizations, community leaders, community health organizations, and local church members.
