here
These initiatives are making a healthier community:
Methodist Generations.
This program offers a variety of wellness activities,
social events, and educational outreach for people age 55 and older.
Prostate Screening and Awareness Program.
In the last year, 595 men
in the Methodist Richardson service area benefited from this free service,
which provides more prostate screenings than any other hospital-based
program in the nation.
Asian Breast Health Outreach Project.
Last year, this program provided
816 mammogram screenings, 132 diagnostic exams, and nine biopsies — as
well as breast health education — to uninsured and underinsured Asian-
American women.
