Outreach and community-building encourage annual vaccinations and screenings.
More personnel means better coordinated care for patient populations.
Patients are encouraged and assisted in visiting our centers for basic health maintenance on a routine basis.
Today, health should be on everyone’s mind. To help us expand our facilities, increase the number of people we serve, and improve the health and well-being of each and every family in our community, we need your help. Without the continued support of our donors, we won’t be able to create sustainable, lasting change.
