We had a great day at the South Dallas Cultural Center's recent Lunch & Learn! It was inspiring to see the community come together with Dr. Joy Malbrough to learn about her work in health equity.
PCHP was proud to partner with Parkland Health, Dallas County Health and Human Services , and other organizations to provide health resources and education to attendees. Events like this remind us why partnerships matter—when we work together, we create space for real connection and meaningful change.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this important conversation on improving health equity in North Texas.

Let's talk about something that could save your life: cervical cancer screening.
Cervical cancer often has no early signs. But regular Pap tests can find bad cells before they turn into cancer. When doctors find it early, cervical cancer can be treated. Many women put off this important test.
Hablemos de algo que podría salvar tu vida: la prueba de detección del cáncer cervical.
El cáncer cervical muchas veces no presenta síntomas tempranos. Sin embargo, las pruebas de Papanicolaou pueden detectar células anormales antes de que se conviertan en cáncer. Cuando se detecta a tiempo, el cáncer cervical puede tratarse. Muchas mujeres posponen esta prueba tan importante.
During pregnancy, your thyroid plays an important role in your health and your baby's development.
