Your colon can’t tell you something’s wrong until it’s often too late — that’s why screening matters. 🎗️

Colon cancer is one of the most preventable cancers when caught early, yet so many in our community put off screening. Starting at age 45, regular screening can catch precancerous polyps before they ever become cancer.

In this video, we break down what you need to know: when to start, what your options are (colonoscopy, stool-based tests, and more), and why this simple step could save your life or the life of someone you love. 💚

Don’t wait for symptoms. Talk to your doctor about screening today.

📍 K**A is committed to bringing preventive care education to our Kurdish and refugee communities — because everyone deserves to know their options.

Future physicians, current med students, and practicing docs teaming up to bring CPR education to our community.

Over the past few years, our volunteers have went from mosques to classrooms, making sure everyone - regardless of background — has the chance to learn life-saving skills.

Knowledge is power, and saving a life shouldn’t be a privilege.

We’re excited to bring this workshop to even more communities soon!

Disclaimer: This workshop does not provide formal CPR certification. It is intended solely for educational purposes and to practice simulated scenarios.

Small acts, big impact. Pre-med members of K**A came together to assemble basic supply and hygiene kits for those in need at local shelters. Caring for our community is at the heart of what it means to be in healthcare.

K**A made a $3,000 donation earlier this year for Rojava during the siege of Kurdish areas and hospitals in the January Syria offensive.

Out of all supplies that were offered, donations of baby food and kids milk were most needed by the human rights organizations on the ground. These items donated are symbolic of nourishing the most vulnerable, the next generation of mankind, and the beacon of hope for the future.

This contribution was made with support and oversight of K**A’s Advisory board’s Kurdish physician community. Please donate so that we can make more impactful contributions together.
