Free Mammogram Clinic
Our Ruth & Jack Gillis Women’s Imaging Center provided 20 free mammograms on Saturday, October 15th, as part of the Hopkins County Health Care Foundation’s gift to our community (along with a donation from our hospital). They will hold another free clinic on October 29th. By the end of the month October, the Hopkins County Health Care Foundation will have provided 60 free mammograms to uninsured women over forty!
We emphasize the importance of breast exams and mammograms for women and even men who have a family history of breast cancer. Our compassionate medical associates help detect breast abnormalities to ensure you receive the necessary resources, diagnostics, treatments, and procedures. The Ruth & Jack Gillis Women’s Center inside of the CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital in Sulphur Springs is a state-of-the-art imaging center that includes the newest 3-D Mammography technology. We welcome you to schedule your mammogram here today. Schedule an appointment by speaking with your physician, or call 903.438.4325.
Give Back through Amazon Smile
Did you know that you can do nothing other than your regular online shopping at Amazon and give back to our Hopkins County Health Care Foundation? The program is easy and does not cost anything to the Amazon customer. All a person needs to do is shop through
smile.amazon.com instead of amazon.com. Once on smile.amazon.com or the app, be sure to denote the Hopkins County Health Care Foundation as the beneficiary. Do this by going to “Account &Lists” then “Your Account” drop down. Click on Amazon Smile. From there a charity (Hopkins County Health Care Foundation, please) may be designated or changed. If using the app, select “Change your Charity” under Settings.
Purchase of certain products will generate a donation of 0.5% of the sale to the HCHC Foundation. It will cost nothing extra to the Amazon customer, but will be helpful to the Foundation, allowing it to do even more to promote health care initiatives in Hopkins County. Thank you for your contribution!
