Final Thoughts

Thanks to the members of Kappa Xi Sorority of CSUEB for raising $1,370 during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. They hosted "Pie A Kappa Xi To Raise Money for Breast Cancer" and chose HERS to benefit! Follow them on Instagram to learn more about how sorority members build strong sisterhood, practice philanthropy, and create friendships that last a lifetime.

Did you know some patient orders may be filled by phone and mailed or picked up at curbside? This is just one way we're striving to keep our patients and team members safer. Call (510) 790-1911 to see if this option will work for you. We're open Monday through Friday, 10 am to 5 pm. We look forward to serving you!
