Since 1958, Washington Hospital Healthcare System has been providing for the healthcare needs of residents in the Tri City area including Fremont, Union City, Newark, southern Hayward and unincorporated Sunol. Over the years, we have grown into a major provider. We pride ourselves in being tuned into community need and adapting services to care for our population. Washington on Wheels mobile clinic is one example of how we care for our residents. This program removes the obstacle of transportation for our low-income patients by bringing services to various locations.
2018 marks a tremendous milestone for HERS Breast Cancer Foundation – our 20th anniversary of community service. Established by a team of dynamic women – a breast health consultant, a fundraising executive, and a tax consultant who was a breast cancer survivor – their motivation was concern for individuals with breast cancer, the disease risks, and the lack of specific support services. Two decades later, we continue to fulfill the HERS mission: to support all individuals healing from breast cancer by providing post-surgical products and services, regardless of their financial status.
