Message from the CEO:
TOMAGWA HealthCare Ministries observes National Immunization Awareness Month
"The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and are safe."
-Proverbs 18:10

August was National Immunization Awareness Month (NIAM). This annual observance highlights the importance of getting recommended vaccines throughout your life.

You have the power to protect yourself and your family against serious diseases like whooping cough, cancers caused by HPV, and pneumonia through
on-time vaccination.

As your children started heading back to school this fall, TOMAGWA HealthCare Ministries made sure vaccination were at the top of our checklist, by providing over 70 vaccinations to school aged children at Waller ISD.

In partnership with Tri-County Health Alliance, TOMAGWA HealthCare Ministries is also currently offering free immunizations to health sciences students at Lone Star College-Tomball regardless of their insurance coverage.

We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to provide vaccinations to students, and families in need. During NIAM and beyond, we encourage you to talk to your doctor, nurse, or other healthcare professional to ensure you, and your family are up to date on recommended vaccines to stay healthy.


Blessings,
Timika Simmons
CEO

Federally Qualified Health Center Look-A-Like Application FAQ's
As TOMAGWA moves from a safety-net charity clinic to a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), there have been many questions from the community about the process and what changes will occur. Every month, this section will work to address many of the common questions TOMAGWA receives. If you have any additional questions, please email admin@tomagwa.org.
Q. Will TOMAGWA continue to prioritize care for the uninsured even though it will now accept Medicare and Medicaid?
A. Yes! TOMAGWA will still maintain complete control of its payor mix and ensure "those most in need" continue to be our priority. In fact, under FQHC guidelines, we will be able to treat a broader range of uninsured patients regardless of income.
Q. How will TOMAGWA's board authority and governance change?
A. TOMAGWA will not only continue to have a board of directors composed of its community members, but 51% of the board will now also consist of patients to ensure quality and patient experience remain our focus.
