Last month, we shared that a breast cancer awareness event was coming up. Today, we’re excited to share the results!
Because the health of our community is at the heart of our mission, the Centre de Santé de l’Espérance (Clinic of Hope) in Terre Blanche reaffirms more than ever its role as a healthcare pillar in the community and in the nearby city of Gonaïves.
This 3rd annual event was marked by wonderful moments of sharing, listening and prevention:
Here are some of the highlights:
- Over 100 women attended our two days of breast cancer screening. They were all screened and a number of them were able to have necessary biopsies on site!
- More than 50 families were visited in their homes during our door-to-door outreach, bringing important information and prevention messages to women directly.
- Thousands of people were reached through our posters and prevention messages shared throughout the community.
Behind these numbers lie faces, stories, and lives that we choose to support, protect and inform. Together, we continue to make a difference.
