Early Detection Works, a Kansas Department of Health and Environment program, is reaching out to uninsured and low-income women.

It is having a free community event, “Healthy Women Happening,” which will be from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at Hobbs Memorial Park, 10th and Delaware streets.

Fredia Perkins, of the Four Tribes Women’s Wellness Coalition, will talk about her experience as a breast cancer survivor and the importance of using screening to detect cancer at the earliest stages possible.

There will be music, refreshments and door prizes.

Low-income women between the ages of 40 and 64 and without health insurance can access free breast and cervical cancer screenings through Early Detection Works. The program receives funding from the Greater Kansas City affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
