Message from the CEO:
Prayer To Our Donors
Dear friends, 

On behalf of the board of directors, patients and staff at TOMAGWA, I want to thank you for your ongoing prayers and support as we continue to navigate unprecedented times in our economy and the state of public health. Scripture tells us to not grow weary in well doing and I want you to know that the staff at TOMAGWA has never felt closer to our medical mission than we do today. 

Many of us have had the opportunity to serve on global mission fields in some of the most barren parts of the globe. There are so many who are starving, without shelter, and in desperate need of healthcare and medications. It’s amazing how we are a community of people who plan, gather resources, and charge into those fields; faith and love in hand, to help those around the world most in need.

What blesses me everyday is that we also remember that we have neighbors within our own communities who are suffering in the same way. We thank you for continuing to provide your time, talents, and treasures to the medical mission of TOMAGWA to provide that same level of compassion to community members, despite the current challenges stateside. TOMAGWA, even now, continues to be a place of renewed hope, restored dignity, and quality charitable healthcare. 

Over the past few months, the dental team has performed over 1,100 visits to 981 individuals in addition to onsite visits to title one elementary schools providing hundreds of dental exams, fluoride treatments, and more. Our medical team continues to surpass quality metrics, but we are still working to combat the lack of cancer prevention services and treatment options for the indigent population in our region. We have over 100 women on the waiting list for mammograms and we thank our friends at Houston Methodist Willowbrook hospital and The Rose for helping us to narrow that list. The lab technicians, pharmacy staff, nursing team, and medical practitioners continue in their dedication to meeting the complex healthcare needs of our patients by providing over 850 visits in May alone. 

There have been many highs and lows over the past couple of years for all of us. We want you to know that we pray daily for you and all things close to your hearts remain safe, healthy, and steadfast in faith. Thank you for your encouragement and we hope you enjoy this newsletter.  

Blessings,

Timika Simmons, CEO

June Is Men’s Health Month—Get Involved!
Did you know there’s a month entirely dedicated to raising awareness for issues impacting the health and wellness of men and boys?

The month also coincides with Men’s Health Week (June 13-19), a special awareness period created by Congress, and the #ShowUsYourBlue campaign on June 17 where men and women are encouraged to Wear Blue to work that day to show their support for the health and well-being of men boys and men.

The goal: Educate the public about the many preventable health problems that affect men and boys and empower them and their loved ones to move towards a healthier, happier life.

“It is important for men to get regular screenings to detect and prevent not only men’s health problems such as prostate and testicular cancer, but also general health problems including colon cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.” -Hannah Moffitt, NP

TOMAGWA strives to promote positive change in healthcare for men. Find out how you can support our male patients here.
Volunteer Spotlight!
Sue Bargaleski started as a volunteer Greeter with TOMAGWA over 9 years ago, after learning about the opportunity from her neighbor who was a TOMAGWA nurse at the time.

Sue became a vital part of the Dental department performing tasks such as greeting and checking in patients, confirming appointments, pre-packing hygiene bags for dispensing to patients, recording the dental stock inventory, data entry, and communicating with the dental team to ensure patient documents are complete.
Since retiring Sue has found that volunteering at TOMAGWA has given her the opportunity to continue serving her community.

“I enjoy my interactions with the patients and dental staff. I am fortunate to have had the luxury of working with the Tomball community my entire career and TOMAGWA has provided another opportunity to fellowship with the people I have grown to love. I chose this because it’s my passion to collaborate with underserved people and I enjoy being in a Christian environment."

When she is not volunteering at the clinic, Sue spends her free time teaching ESL classes, reading, gardening and cross stitching.
