Actress and mother of four, Shar Jackson, is a fervent advocate of health screenings for both men and women.

Then, her uncle’s pancreatic cancer was diagnosed early due to preventative care, which ultimately saved his life. Watch what she and Dr. Steven Rabin discuss the importance of health screenings.
