Hopkins County Health Care Foundation and Christus Mother Frances Hospital – Sulphur Springs Free Mammogram Clinic is Filling Up
Sulphur Springs, TX –
The Hopkins County Health Care Foundation (HCHCF) and CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital – Sulphur Springs (CMF-SS) are partnering to offer a free mammogram clinic for uninsured women in Hopkins County over the age of 40.
Women have been calling even before the clinic was announced to make their appointments for what has become an annual community outreach program.
“The Health Care Foundation Board expressed their wishes to make this program even bigger. In the past, the clinic ran on two Saturdays. This year, we are funding it for three days, to serve more Hopkins County women,” said Maleta Reynolds chair of the HCHCF.
The clinic will run for three Saturdays, October 14, October 21 and October 28 from 8:30 am to 4:30 p.m. Appointments will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis.
In addition to the funds raised through the 4th annual Designer Handbag Bingo held in August, individuals have contributed to the clinic as well. During the bingo event, attendees are asked to help support the program, which they eagerly do each year.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and a good time for all women to schedule their annual mammograms.
Eligible women wishing to be included in the free mammogram clinic should call 903-438-4325 to make an appointment.
The Hopkins County Health Care Foundation was founded in 1997 and is an IRS designated 501 (c) 3 non-profit that is governed by an independent board of directors.
