Kedren Community Health Center, Inc.

Celebrating National Mammogram Day! 🎗️💖 This week, our team came together to host a special mammogram event, providing screenings and raising awareness about the importance of early detection. It was inspiring to see so many community members prioritizing their health and taking a proactive step towards breast cancer prevention. Regular mammograms can make a lifesaving difference by detecting breast cancer early when it’s most treatable. We're proud to support our community by providing access to these essential services and empowering people to stay informed about their health. Thank you to everyone who participated and made the day so impactful. Let's continue to support one another in the journey toward better health! #NationalMammogramDay #EarlyDetection #BreastCancerAwareness #CommunityHealth #HealthcareHeroes #PreventionMatters

🎀 Today was our Mammogram Event! 🎀  At Kedren, we’re always in the fight against breast cancer by raising awareness about early detection and the importance of health care for all. Breast cancer affects millions of lives, but together, we can make a difference through education, support, and access to care. 💪🏽💗  🌟 Why It Matters:  Breast cancer doesn’t just affect physical health—it can take a toll on mental health as well. That’s why it’s crucial to provide holistic care for women and families impacted by this disease. From primary health care to mental health support, we’re here to walk alongside our community members through every step of their journey. 🩺🧠  💡 Early Detection Saves Lives:  Regular screenings, self-exams, and mammograms can significantly reduce the risk of breast cancer. If you or someone you love hasn’t had a recent screening, now is the time. Early detection is the key to increasing survival rates.  ✨ Support Matters:  For those facing a breast cancer diagnosis, support can come in many forms—whether it’s medical care, mental health counseling, or simply knowing you’re not alone. We’re committed to providing comprehensive care to ensure that both physical and emotional needs are met.  Join us in raising awareness, spreading hope, and supporting survivors. Together, we can take steps toward a future without breast cancer. 💗 If you missed today's event, go to our website and sign up for an appointment. It's never too late. #BreastCancerAwareness #CommunityHealth #EarlyDetection #MentalHealthMatters #SupportAndCare #StrongerTogether #BreastCancerSurvivors

And now, a word from our CEO: Now that National Suicide Prevention Month has ended, it’s a reminder that mental health is not just a monthly focus—it’s a year-round priority for us at Kedren Health. For nearly 60 years, we’ve been dedicated to serving the mental and primary health care needs of South Los Angeles, providing vital services even before mental health wellness was part of the mainstream conversation. Suicide continues to be a leading cause of death, with communities across the country affected. Here in South Los Angeles, we’ve seen how stigma and lack of access to care can prevent individuals from seeking help. That’s why our mission at Kedren Health has always been about providing accessible, community-centered care, ensuring that no one has to face their mental health struggles alone.  Our services range from acute psychiatric care to comprehensive mental health counseling, ensuring that we address not only immediate crises but also the ongoing needs of our patients. Through our integrated model of care, we’ve been able to offer support that treats the whole person—mind and body. Everyone can play a role in suicide prevention. It starts with open conversations, checking in on loved ones, and knowing the resources available. Our organization offers support groups, 24/7 crisis intervention, and educational workshops to ensure that our community knows where to turn in times of need. If you or someone you know is struggling, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Our team is here to help, with programs designed to provide immediate support and long-term care. You can also contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline via phone call or text at 988 for free and confidential support 24/7.  As we continue our journey of serving the mental health needs of South Los Angeles, we’re reminded that every conversation, every act of support, and every life we touch matters. Together, we can prevent suicide and foster a community of wellness and hope. Gregory Polk CEO  Kedren Health
