Abstract
Abstract Houston is world renowned as a city on the cutting edge of medical research and top tier medical facilities. But there is another story. Over 38% of residents of Houston speak a language other than English. A vast majority of this population are not able to get medical insurance and do not get regular health screenings. Although federal monies are available to provide free mammograms and PAP tests for the uninsured, Texas stipulates that a valid Texas ID must be presented to get access. This poster addresses the impact a dedicated group of volunteer medical and lay staff are making to serve the underserved. Citation Format: Mary Kay Dauria.
