Foundation’s Free Mammography Clinic Now Taking Appointments
Sulphur Springs, Texas – Scheduling for the Hopkins County Health Care Foundation’s free mammography clinic has just begun. Uninsured Hopkins County women age 40 and older may call (903) 438-4325 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to schedule an appointment.
The clinic is in its 6th year and spots fill faster each time. Appointments for 75 women to schedule are open now until all are claimed. Screenings will take place in October, the month of Breast Cancer Awareness, and will be conducted locally in the Ruth & Jack Gillis Women’s Center in CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital – Sulphur Springs.
The Women’s Center is equipped with up-to-date technology, 3D imaging, and kind staff to ensure a comfortable experience. It is located next to the Johnnie Masters Gift Shop.
This free clinic was made possible by every sponsor, volunteer, player, and person who directly contributed to the cause during Designer Handbag Bingo, one of the Foundation’s biggest fundraising events.
The Foundation funds free clinics, educational resources, and programs for the community as well as equipment, construction, and programs for the local hospital, CHRISTUS Mother Frances – Sulphur Springs, and the governmental agency Hopkins County Hospital District/EMS. All money raised is used to benefit healthcare in Hopkins County. For more information, contact the Foundation at (903) 438-4799 or hchc.foundation@christushealth.org.
