Faced with a serious medical diagnosis, it’s easy to feel alone, lost in the complexities of a medical jungle. It’s during those tough times that Caritas Clinics’ mission is at its best, acting like a compass to guide our patients toward successful health outcomes. This is where Duchesne Clinic patient Maria Moreno found herself, needing help finding the right path to take and how to get there.
At age 56, a routine mammogram led to an abnormal result, and Maria was told she needed additional testing. She reached out to several organizations in her area but was turned away because she was uninsured. Then she found Duchesne Clinic. At Duchesne, Maria found herself amongst caregivers who not only understood the immediacy of her condition, but also the burden of stress it carried. Sharing her fears with them, watching them respond in such a caring, meticulous way to make sure she received the required testing, confirmed Maria’s belief she was exactly where she needed to be.
“I have always, always had in mind that God always puts everyone in the right place. God is always present. And He was always present with me, and He put the right people in my place. I am incredibly grateful with this clinic because thanks to God and thanks to the staff, every time I come in, I always receive great care.”
