💗 Reflecting on an Inspiring Saturday – Pink Cap Warriors On The Move Annual Luncheon 💗

This past Saturday, our Executive Director, Brady Harwell, had the incredible honor of joining the Pink Cap Warriors On the Move Annual Luncheon — a beautiful celebration of strength, sisterhood, and survivorship in honor of breast cancer awareness. 🎀

Brady had the pleasure of sharing with the group about the resources available through Presbyterian Medical Care Mission and the importance of having a primary care provider — someone to “quarterback your healthcare” and help ensure that everyone stays proactive about their health and well-being. We talked about how vital preventative care and cancer screenings, such as mammograms, truly are — because early detection saves lives.

One of the most moving moments came when Brady introduced a long-time PMCM patient — someone who has been part of our mission family for 42 years. Recently diagnosed with breast cancer and currently undergoing treatment, she filled the room with laughter, joy, hope, and resilience, sharing how her faith and relationship with Christ continue to sustain her. Her story was a powerful reminder of the strength within this community and the impact of compassion and care. 🙏💞

A heartfelt thank you to Robert and Deydra for organizing such an uplifting event and for allowing us the opportunity to share about PMCM’s role as a vital community healthcare resource.

Together, we are stronger — and together, we can keep moving forward in faith, hope, and health. 💪🌸

🎀 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🎀

At Presbyterian Medical Care Mission, we’re reminded every day that preventative care saves lives. Through screenings, early detection, and referrals for imaging and treatment, our mission is to care for our community in both body and spirit.

Today, we’d like to highlight one of our longtime patients — a woman who has been part of the PMCM family since the 1980s. Earlier this year, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and is now courageously undergoing treatment. Her strength, faith, and perseverance have been an inspiration to all of us. 💗

This month, Bahama Buck's is showing their support in the sweetest way possible. When you order a Pink Sno during October, the profits will go directly to support her as she continues her treatment journey.

Today, the PMCM team was able to order some Bahama Buck’s and meet up with her at the clinic for a sweet treat, fun, and fellowship. We’d like to encourage our community to do the same — stop by Bahama Buck’s, order a Pink Sno, and show your support for her as she continues her journey! 💕

🎉 Welcome, Jessica Lindemood, PA-C! 🎉

We’re thrilled to welcome Jessica Lindemood to the Presbyterian Medical Care Mission team! Jessica serves as an Assistant Instructor in the Hardin-Simmons University Physician Assistant Program, where she’s involved in both the didactic and clinical aspects of PA education.

Her clinical background includes Family and Internal Medicine, but her true passion lies in Women’s Health. Jessica became a Nationally Certified Menopause Practitioner in 2022 and is excited to help PMCM expand services for women in our community — including well-woman exams and other essential care.

She will be with us most Tuesdays, working under the supervision of Dr. Cardodiskey, and will also assist with ER follow-ups, quick access appointments, and more, helping us serve even more patients in need.

Outside of work, Jessica loves being involved in her community and spending time with her husband and two young daughters. 💜

Please join us in giving her a warm PMCM welcome!

We also loved hearing updates about the pacesetter campaigns and the exciting momentum building for this year’s efforts.

🌟 Celebrating Penny’s Journey! 🌟

This past month, we were blessed to have Penny join our clinical team at Presbyterian Medical Care Mission through a subsidized work experience externship, made possible by our wonderful partnership with Workforce Solutions of West Central Texas.

Over the course of her month with us, Penny:
✅ Learned about the duties and responsibilities of a Medical Assistant
✅ Gained valuable hands-on, real-world experience
✅ Saw firsthand how PMCM provides care for the uninsured and underserved in our community
✅ Took steps toward earning her Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) credential 🎉

We are so proud of Penny’s dedication and growth, and we wish her all the best as she seeks full-time employment in her field. 💜

It’s an honor for PMCM to play even a small role in equipping and encouraging the next generation of healthcare professionals who are passionate about serving others.

💜 Bexa Screening Follow-Up! 💜

This week (Mon–Thurs), we were honored to host the amazing team from Texas Tech right here at Presbyterian Medical Care Mission. Thanks to their time and dedication, 52 women received FREE Bexa breast screenings at the Mission — at absolutely no cost. 🙌

We are deeply grateful for this partnership with Texas Tech and their commitment to improving women’s health in our community. Together, we’re helping make early detection more accessible to those who need it most. 💗

📢 Looking ahead…
While we don’t yet have a date set, we look forward to the next time we can welcome this team back on site to serve our patients again. Stay tuned for future updates!

✨ Early detection saves lives. Thank you to our partners, our patients, and our community for making this possible!
