Health & Wellness Education & Assistance
Access to medical care is limited in Anapra/Poleo. The large metropolis of Ciudad Juarez does not have a cancer hospital. At the request of the Anapra/Poleo community, Manos Amigas provides workshops to promote health screenings and improve health literacy. In the past, we have covered topics such as breast cancer prevention, detection, and treatment, diabetes prevention and management, heart healthy diets, and strategies to promote cardiovascular wellness.
When a diagnosis is made, an accident occurs, or an illness develops, volunteers in Anapra/Poleo are there to support and comfort. Volunteers in Kansas City and other parts of the US provide money, supplies, prayers, and encouragement to those facing a health crisis.
Joining hands to work on the medical needs of the Anapra/Poleo community enables Manos Amigas to build a better and healthier tomorrow.
