Homeless Women get Mammograms at Project Homeless Connect

For women who lack a home or a safe place to stay, getting a regular mammogram is probably way down on their list of things to do. They are too busy struggling just to survive. But now California Pacific Medical Center is providing free mammograms and a full health care check-up for some homeless women at the Project Homeless Connect on February 27th at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium.

"These women have already endured so much," says Shirley Manly Lampkin, R.N., Ph.D., Director of California Pacific Medical Center's Community Benefits program. "That's why we want to help them in whatever way we can, by offering them a complete health assessment, in a way that makes them feel cared for, and respected."
