Interfaith Community Clinic supports womens health during Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Interfaith Community Clinic actively supports women's health this October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, providing free Well Woman Exams and mammogram referrals to uninsured residents. The Clinic collaborates with Memorial Hermann to ensure women have access to critical health screenings, irrespective of their financial situation. A notable case involved a 52-year-old woman who, after receiving a diagnostic mammogram at the Clinic, was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer and is now undergoing treatment. This highlights the Clinic's impact on early detection and life-saving care. In addition to women's health, the Clinic has seen a surge in demand for behavioral health services, prompting an expansion of its program to meet this growing need.
Missy Herndon, President & CEO, underscores the importance of preventive care and mental health for overall wellness. Interfaith Community Clinic invites the community to support its mission, emphasizing that every donation helps ensure access to healthcare for those in need. Together, the Clinic aims to maintain a healthy and strong community where quality healthcare is accessible to all.
