Following the success of the May 2019 Spring into Good Health event for women by women
Sansum Clinic launched the Women’s Health Initiative. The Initiative is dedicated
to supporting educational forums for women, as well as purchasing state-of-the-art medical equipment and providing unique services directed specifically at
enhancing women’s health.
Sansum Clinic provides medical care to 124,338 patients at 605,806 visits and 56%
of those patients are female.
Gifts of support for the Women’s Health Initiative have enabled Sansum Clinic to
purchase an additional 3-D Mammogram Machine to supplement the two 3-D
machines currently in operation. Always in high demand, these machines provide
greater accuracy, earlier detection, decreased recall rates and improved patient
experiences when compared to earlier mammography equipment.
The Women’s Health Initiative made a grant to WEB (Welcome Every Baby), a
personalized home visitation program for newborns and their families in Santa
Barbara County.
