A little cheesecake and a convenient way to take care of ourselves! 💙

Thank you to the Howard Center for Women’s Health for visiting Eighth Street Middle School and meeting with teachers during their planning periods to help schedule annual health screenings.

They also treated our staff to cheesecake with toppings and a chance to win a CASE-MATE pocketbook! We appreciate their thoughtful visit and the time they took to make scheduling these important appointments a little easier for our teachers.
