Woodbridge, Va. — It’s National Community Health Center Week and residents came out Monday for free mammogram screenings.
The University of Virginia Mobile Clinic parked outside the Greater Prince William Community Health Center on Prince William Parkway in Woodbridge where the breast cancer screenings were conducted.
“The theme for this year’s National Community Health Center Week is ‘serving locally, leading nationally.’ Our health center is a leader in the delivery of integrated and coordinated health care, including service to local uninsured families,” said Prince William health center Director Frank Principi. “This week’s free health care screenings – mammograms, ADHD, diabetes, glaucoma, etc. — will provide local families with a road map to better health outcomes.”
On Thursday, low-income families will have the chance to apply for a child safety car seat as 30 of them will be available at the community center on a first come, first served basis, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Also at the center until Friday will be free information on healthy eating, and healthy snacks will be available in the waiting room between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.
