Women's Health Program Updates
In an effort to improve our Women's Health Program and serve more patients, we are changing the program time, effective October 18th. Starting on October 18th, the Women's Health Program will be offered on the 1st and the 3rd Mondays of the month from 2-5 PM. We are hoping that this new time can help women schedule and keep their appointment times. We know how important the pap smears, pelvic exams, and clinical breast exams are and want to make them as accessible as possible.
In addition, Helping Hands Health and Wellness Center will be offering a one-month supply of Women's Health products to patients who keep their appointments! These are necessary, expensive products that women need each and every month to care for themselves. We are blessed to be able to provide them through our program for free.
