YODEAH

Description:

Yodeah!€™s mission is to educate the Jewish community about hereditary cancer genetic mutations and provide access to affordable, clinical grade testing. One in 40 Ashkenazi Jews, men and women, carries a BRCA mutation which can significantly increase their risk of cancer.



*Testing is done through a simple saliva test.
*The testing can be done in the comfort of your home through a kit ordered online.
* In-person community and testing workshops

NOTE: Because of Covid-19, we are forced to temporarily suspend in person talk and test events. However, during this time we would be happy to do a live educational event via Zoom.
