Soroptimist International of Sedro-Woolley Awards $25,000 to Program That Assists Low-Income East Skagit County Women in Gaining Access to Mammograms
Representatives from Soroptimist International of Sedro-Woolley (SI S-W) presented a check totaling $25,000 to leaders from Citrine Health of Everett for use in providing mammograms to low-income women residing in Sedro-Woolley and East Skagit County on Wednesday, March 30.
Citrine Health’s executive director Kerri Mallams and program manager Becky Jones accepted the donation from SI S-W’s Judy Hingston and Judy Johnson at Citrine’s headquarters in Everett, Washington. SI S-W’s Service Committee allocated the funds through the Club’s newly minted “Community Investment Project.”
“Our Club is happy to partner with Citrine in providing preventive screening measures that help to ensure long-term health for women in our community,” said Judy Hingston, Service Committee chair. The Breast Care Suite at United General Hospital in Sedro-Woolley will serve as the designated provider for the exams, as specified by SI Sedro-Woolley.
Citrine Health, in partnership with the Washington State Breast, Cervical, and Colon Health Program, connects low-income women to free or low-cost preventive healthcare services. Underinsured and uninsured women may qualify for yearly health exams and mammograms throughout Island, San Juan, Skagit, Snohomish, and Whatcom Counties. www.citrinehealth.com
