Health Management and Self-Preservation 
requires SKIN-IN-THE-GAME

Milwaukee Professionals Association LLC has listed Cancers as one of its "Chronic Illnesses" in Urban Population Health Care.  They encourage individuals to:

1. Talk to your Internal Medicine practitioner, local health department and other practitioners to be introduced, learn more and provide self-management for one's self.
2. Family discussion about cancers that are hereditary is most important.  It helps each member self-chart and provide necessary information to his/her personal physician and/or practitioners.
3. Help to remove fear by "engagement in preparedness".
4. Read, browse the internet, share and contact your local Cancer Society for chat groups and more information.
5. Recommend that your church, neighborhood, civic group and schools adapt sharing information about the need for early detection.
