The on-going coronavirus pandemic has changed how the world operates – but it has not changed the need for affordable, basic healthcare to those who need it most.  It certainly hasn’t changed the need for life-saving FREE breast screenings.  

 

The pandemic has forced The Family Healthcare Clinic to move their annyal Miles for Mammograms 5K and Fun Run to a virtual format this year. Molly Collins with The Family Healtcare Clinic appeared on COMMUNITY CONNECTION to advise of the changes and what the event is all about.
