Coronary heart of the Rockies Regional Medical Middle (HRRMC) Basis and the Girls’s Wellness Connection (WWC) grant program have curated a most cancers consciousness exhibit now on show at HRRMC.
The exhibit options 4 girls who’ve had life-saving measures carried out after discovering most cancers throughout their preventative well being screenings. These girls stay domestically and brazenly shared their tales to advocate for the significance of most cancers prevention and early detection. The exhibit is on show on the primary ground of the hospital, between the Emergency Division and Imaging/Laboratory ready areas.
“The Girls’s Wellness Connection program creates consciousness and entry to preventative well being and most cancers screenings,” mentioned Melanie Critelli, WWC Group Well being Employee. “Our service area is geographically remoted, which may create boundaries to girls accessing annual care. Insurance coverage protection and price can create further obstacles. Our program works to help girls financially and emotionally to entry these crucial appointments.”
WWC program is grant funded by the Colorado Division of Public Well being and Setting (CDPHE). WWC provides free cervical most cancers screenings/PAP exams and breast most cancers screenings/mammograms for qualifying girls. Eligible individuals are girls between the ages of 21-64 years outdated, residing inside a particular revenue degree, and who’re uninsured or underinsured. Funding for girls residing in Chaffee, Lake, Western Fremont, Park, Custer, and Saguache Counties is now accessible.
