HCHC and RMH Partner Up for Breast Cancer

 October is a month where many come together and bring awareness to Breast Cancer and all of those who have been and are affected by it. The Harrisonburg Community Health Center and the Rockingham Memorial Hospital partnered up on Saturday October 6, 2012 to give back and help move forward!

On October 6, the RMH mobile unit made appointments to HCHC patients for free mammograms. It was a fabulous success as 19 women were able to receive the service.  It was such a great experience that the RMH mobile unit is looking forward to another day of free mammograms in the spring! 

Rockingham Memorial Hospital’s mobile unit is “the first mobile unit in the nation to be equipped with the full-field GE digital mammography unit” (RMH Breast Care).  A mammogram is an x-ray picture of the breast. This mobile service is able to come out to neighborhoods, churches, and events to help promote education and safety about breast cancer. A schedule can be found here.

The New Era of the HCHC

The Harrisonburg Community Health Center that you’ve grown to love since 2008 has moved to its new facility that will be loved even more! Long gone are the days of crowded waiting rooms, cramped offices and over flowing parking lots as the new era of the Harrisonburg Health Center begins. 

With this new beginning come fresh services, accommodations and opportunities. The spacious 21,000 square foot center looks like home on the outside and feels like home with the wonderful staff and amenities on the inside. Providing quality to the Harrisonburg community is the main priority of the Health Center and the new facility is doing just that!

They have taken the eight examination rooms from the previous building and doubled them to sixteen in the new one.  Another thing the new center has done is created a safe and secure waiting environment that will separate well and sick patients to ensure the health of everyone. One of the more fascinating opportunities of the new center will be its inclusion of dental services, which just opened. They will also continue incorporating disease prevention and management and telecommunication technologies in their service.

The Harrisonburg Community Health Center is a leading provider of quality healthcare and their commitment to that is evident in their new building. The future of healthcare in the community is taking off as the new era of the Harrisonburg Community Health Center begins! Take a look at the map below to see the location of the new facility.
