Testimonials
At a Health Fair in Centro San Juan Diego, I found support in Vuela for Health for “Women’s Health” because they were giving information about the importance of having a mammogram and finding a clinic.
Vuela for Health guided me through the process of making an appointment and being able to have a clinic, and now I feel calmer because I was able to have blood tests and mammograms done for free.
I recommend that people approach Vuela por Salud so that they guide them in the process of obtaining a clinic so that they can have their exams done.
During the class I was taking with Vuela for Health, they asked us if we needed a clinic and I asked for their support.
Thanks to the support of Vuela por Salud through the “Women’s Health” program, I was able to achieve:
- Free mammogram
- Pap smear at low cost
- Diabetes monitoring at low cost
The process to have a clinic and be able to carry out these exams was very easy because Vuela helped me to do it.
Before obtaining the support of resources with Vuela for Health, I was worried about not having a clinic where I could have the studies I needed done. Now, I am very happy to have a clinic and to have been able to do the studies to keep track of my health.
