Once again, the community has come together to help support Headwaters Health Care Centre (HHCC) in funding necessary equipment.
The Orangeville-based organization, the Morningview Foundation, is set to match all donations made by the community, up to a whopping amount of $200,000.
Beginning on November 1, 2020 and continuing through December 31, donations reached over $200,000.
With over $400,000 raised through the community and the matched donation by the Morningview Foundations, HHCC was able to purchase a brand-new mammography machine that is equipped with 3D printing to help support breast cancer patients.
This new machine provides more accurate results and screening for dense breasts, seeks earlier detection of breast cancer in those who have symptoms and those without.
