Breast Cancer Awareness 2025 – Moving Together for Prevention

This past weekend, the CCD Health team came together to honor a cause that touches countless lives: Breast Cancer Awareness Month. From Friday, October 17 through Sunday, October 19, our teams joined forces with local centers in Santiago and Santo Domingo to bring wellness, education, and hope to our communities.

As part of our commitment to breast cancer prevention and early detection, the initiative focused not only on raising awareness, but also on promoting healthy habits through movement and physical activity. By bringing exercise into the heart of these events, we aimed to inspire people to take proactive steps in caring for their health, a simple yet powerful way to support long-term wellness.

Santiago & Santo Domingo: Moving Together for Prevention

On Friday, October 17, the event in Santiago kicked off with an energetic Zumba class designed to highlight the role of physical activity in prevention. A total of 60 participants, including CCD team members and members of the local community, joined the session to celebrate wellness and raise awareness about the importance of regular screenings. 

The activity also included raffles, complimentary check-up gift cards from a local diagnostic center, and healthy refreshments, creating an uplifting environment centered on health, prevention, and connection.

The following two days in Santo Domingo, our team supported a series of wellness activities attended by over 300 participants, beginning with functional yoga classes designed to help individuals tune into their bodies, build strength, and incorporate mindful movement into their daily lives. Consistent with our focus on promoting healthy habits through physical activity, the weekend also featured Zumba and cross-training sessions to encourage exercise as part of a prevention-focused lifestyle. 

Most importantly, the event included free breast ultrasounds for up to 100 patients per day, underscoring the critical role of early detection in safeguarding health and fostering a strong, connected community.

Choosing Prevention, Choosing Life

Through movement, screenings, and shared moments, we’re reminded that prevention starts with us – and that together, we can make a difference. October is a month to honor those bravely fighting breast cancer, to remember with love the ones we’ve lost, and to stand together for a future filled with hope and strength. This month and every month, let’s honor life by choosing prevention.
