Women’s Health Day A Success
Our second Women’s Health Day was a huge success! Eighteen women received free mammograms through our partnership with Invision Diagnostics. We also saw a full schedule of patients in the clinic for cervical cancer screenings. Community partners and staff manned tables with educational materials on diabetes, heart disease, birth control, and general health along the festively decorated hallway. We’re excited to welcome PASOs as a new partner in supporting our Latina patients with health education. Affinity Health Center will continue hosting monthly Women’s Health Days throughout the year.
