The new year brings renewed hope and new opportunities for better health for the women of San Felipe in Northern Baja California, Mexico. Thanks to a $130,000 Rotary Global Grant, a state-of-the-art 3D mammography machine will soon be installed at the local Cancer Clinic.
The project is sponsored by the Clayton Valley/Concord Sunrise Rotary Club and the San Felipe Rotary Club, with generous funding support from ten additional Rotary clubs. This new technology will replace the mammography machine originally donated by Clayton Rotarians 20 years ago and will significantly improve early detection by identifying far more tumors than previously possible.
Installation is expected to be completed in time for San Felipe’s annual Cancer Walk in early March. Without this equipment, the nearly 10,000 women in the region would be required to travel more than 100 miles for mammography testing.
Rotary Cares! Making a difference!
