Health resources
Our mission is to empower patients and vulnerable communities by providing essential information on the health resources crucial for receiving compassionate care, services and programs.
This page emphasizes the significance of timely screenings, offering comprehensive insights into available cancer screening options and health check-ups for breast cancer, colorectal cancer and cervical cancer.
By navigating these resources, individuals can enhance their awareness, enabling patients, families and caregivers to overcome obstacles in accessing timely cancer screening, early diagnosis and clinical resources for effective cancer care. We look forward to continuously supporting people’s health.
