Sisters Working It Out (SWIO) is a non-profit organization based in Chicago, IL, dedicated to eliminating breast cancer disparities in the Chicagoland area. Founded in 2001 by Dr. Monica Peek, SWIO aims to educate and empower women of color, providing them with access to quality preventive health services and compassionate care throughout their cancer journey.
Through programs such as survivor support groups and the Annual Day of Beauty, SWIO offers a supportive community for breast cancer survivors, providing key information, resources, and free items like bras, prosthesis, and wigs to improve their quality of life post-treatment. With a focus on addressing barriers to healthcare, SWIO works tirelessly to reduce breast cancer mortality rates among African-American women by promoting awareness, advocacy, and equitable access to screening and primary care services.
