Champions for Health is dedicated to ensuring our San Diegan neighbors have access to quality medical care.
Neighbors like Yudhit. After receiving a mastectomy, radiation, and chemotherapy, Yudhit's healthcare coverage ended before she could have the reconstructive surgery that typically concludes breast cancer treatment. Uninsured, Yudhit was unable to pay the out-of-pocket costs for reconstructive surgery for five years. In addition to her unfinished treatment, Yudhit's self-esteem plummeted.
Champions for Health intervened and connected her with one of our dedicated physician volunteers, Dr. Sardo, who performed reconstructive surgery for Yudhit this past October. During a recent visit with our team, Yudhit shared how grateful she is for the life-changing medical care she received through Champions for Health, which would have not been available to her, pro bono, anywhere else.
