Our team had the privilege and honor to attend the 27th Annual To Life! Spring Health Conference. Our program manager, Jill Strock spoke in the beginning of the conference about our life-saving no cost cancer screening program. After she spoke, we had two women that approached her that said they have daughters without health insurance and wanted our information to pass on to them. This is a huge win!
