Women's Wellness Fund
Donations to this fund help St. Rita's provide the health care needed by women of all ages and stages of life, even if they are uninsured or don't have the ability to pay. Support from donors is used toward the costs of adding additional 3-D mammography units and software upgrades to provide life-saving technology to more women. Our Women's Wellness Center and other services dedicated to women's health benefit from funding for new equipment and facility updates and raise awareness about the importance of annual mammograms.
Women who qualify based on financial need can receive free mammograms or breast ultrasounds for their annual screening or to help detect cancer in its earliest and most treatable stages. And donations provide women in cancer treatment with support groups and journals.
With your help, women have the most advanced options to monitor their health without having to travel to a larger city an hour or more away.
