CCF update Breast Cancer
CCF update Breast Cancer Awareness Month In an effort to raise awareness about the importance of annual health screenings, the CCF partnered with Ascension on October 20 to provide mammograms to women in need through Ascensions Mobile Mammography unit. Pre-screened individuals were seen by appointment in a private setting. Each woman received a PPE kit to take home. CCF Supercuts Gives First Haircut CCF’s Supercuts barbershop was developed to give those with special needs a safe and quiet environment to get a haircut. Many of those suffering from sensory issues have difficulty during a haircut, as they do not like anyone touching their head. CCF’s Supercuts schedules one-hour appointments to ensure a one-on-one haircutting experience that is noise and stress free and introduces each piece of styling equipment to the client before use. Flu Vaccination Drive The Chaldean Community Foundation hosted flu vaccination drives on Wednesday October 14, 2020 and Thursday, October 22 at the new Ascension Primary Health Care clinic, part of the new facility expansion. PPE kits were provided to individuals who received the flu vaccination. Flu vaccinations will be administered to the public free of charge throughout the months of October and November. Help the fight against COVID-19 by getting your flu shot! For more information, contact the Ascension Primary Care Clinic at 586-738-9475. CCF assists PBJ Outreach, INC in Detroit On Saturday September 26, 2020, staff from the Chaldean Community Foundation provided and distributed 100 bags filled with personal protection equipment to individuals attending the PBJ outreach program in Detroit.
