The Trudy Arnold Foundation has successfully rounded off a month-long series of impactful activities dedicated to breast cancer awareness and women’s health, culminating in the much-anticipated TruCare Experience held on 24 October 2025 at the Studio 7 Clinic and Med Spa in Dzorwulu, Accra.
Throughout October, the Foundation, in partnership with the Ghana Health Service, the Breast Society of Ghana, and Judy’s Home Healthcare Agency, spearheaded a chain of community-focused initiatives aimed at promoting early detection, education, and access to vital health screenings.
A Month of Compassion and Care
The awareness campaign began with free breast cancer screenings conducted throughout the month at Studio 7 Clinic and Med Spa. Hundreds of women from across Accra benefited from these screenings, receiving expert consultations and education on preventive health practices.
This was followed by the TruCare Health Walk on October 11, which brought together fitness enthusiasts, health advocates, and members of the public on a 7-kilometre route through Dzorwulu, Roman Ridge, and Airport Residential areas—all in solidarity for the fight against breast cancer. The event was graced by Hon. John Dumelo, Member of Parliament for Ayawaso West Wuogon, who also serves as the Deputy Minister of Agriculture. His participation underscored the importance of government support in
community-led health initiatives.
The TruCare Experience: A Celebration of Strength and Awareness.
The month’s activities were brought to a powerful close with the TruCare Experience, a heart-warming event that blended education, advocacy, and sisterhood. The occasion drew together distinguished guests and supporters from all walks of life, including Dr Akua Adutwumwaa Boamah Addy, Health Director of the Ayawaso West Municipal Assembly; Lady Adjoa Akoto, wife of the Paramount Chief of the Akwamu Traditional Area, Odeneho Nana Kwafo Akoto III; renowned broadcast journalist Nana Aba Anamoah; and award-winning actress Joselyn Dumas.
Inspiring addresses were delivered by DDrWallace Ollennu of the Ghana Health Service and Dr Naa Adorkor Ayitey, Vice President of the Breast Society of Ghana. Both health experts shared valuable insights on the importance of regular screenings, self-examinations, and early detection in improving survival outcomes among women.
A Mission Rooted in Personal Loss and Purpose
For Trudy Arnold, founder of the Trudy Arnold Foundation and CEO of Studio 7 Clinic and Med Spa, this cause goes beyond advocacy—it is deeply personal. Having lost both her
mother and grandmother to breast cancer, Trudy has transformed her grief into purpose, dedicating her platform and resources to saving lives through awareness, education, and
empowerment.
“This is not just about breast cancer; it’s about women’s overall well-being,” Trudy noted.
“Through the Foundation, we aim to tackle broader issues affecting women and children, from mental health challenges to skill-building and empowerment programmes, because when we care for women, we strengthen communities.”
Beyond Awareness: Building a Legacy of Impact
The Trudy Arnold Foundation envisions a future where women are not only informed but empowered to take charge of their health and personal growth. Through continuous collaborations with health institutions and private sector partners, the Foundation plans to expand its outreach across Ghana, bringing education, free health checks, and empowerment programs to underserved communities.
As the curtains close on this year’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the success of the TruCare Experience stands as a testament to what passion, purpose, and partnership can achieve.
The Trudy Arnold Foundation continues to champion the cause of women’s health, reminding us all that early detection saves lives and that true care begins with awareness.
