Cabarrus County Department of Social Services
Collaboration with Cabarrus County Department of Social Services, Meeting on January 24, 2025: Thank you, Mr. Thomas Mitchell, Ms. Heather Altman, and Mr. Robert Cox II, for taking the time to meet me and understand the challenges we face while serving the underserved Cancer thrivers in Cabarrus County and across North Carolina. Thank you, Ms. Hollye McCallum, for introducing me to Mr. Thomas and the CCDSS team. Immensely grateful to Ms. Heather for sharing all the CCDSS resources, which will be extremely helpful for our patients.
We discussed Breast Cancer Hub (BCH) resources that the CCDSS can leverage: BCH brochures with the QR codes to download the Breast Self Exam cards in 24 languages for Her and Him, Early detection cards for other prevalent cancers created by BCH, and contact information so that any suspicious case can reach out to me later. We also discussed our BCH handcrafted essential Patient care package that contains Breast Cancer Surgery (also applicable for other cancers), heart-shaped pillow with a pocket to insert cold or hot pack providing comfort and healing, specialized Chemo port Seat Belt pillows to wear in the Car while seated, and Soft Hats for irritated scalp from chemo, beneficial for patients, along with expressive cards with creative artwork to bring smiles to the patients”.
Thank you,
100% of BCH services are free of cost, and 100% of donations are driven towards the mission (donors's bucket of choice).
