Dear Friends,

It seems like only yesterday we were celebrating the start of summer and now autumn is fast approaching. With the fall season on the horizon, there's no better time than now to mark your calendar for your annual flu shot appointment. Here at the hospital, we understand the significance of getting vaccinated against the flu, not only for your well-being but for the safety of our patients, colleagues, and the broader community.

As we gear up for an exciting few months, our Foundation is abuzz with activity. From Bingo or Bust in October, to the Holiday Home Tour Gala and Boutique, and the heartwarming Light Up a Life celebration as we approach year-end, there will be numerous opportunities for our community members to get involved and lend their support to a range of hospital programs.

October is the start of our Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we are thankful to our community partners who help us raise both awareness and funding to benefit the Sheila R. Veloz Breast Center. Many local businesses and restaurants are partnering with us for special “Sheila” items or promotions where a portion of proceeds for the month and/or on a specific date will be donated to benefit patient care at the Sheila R. Veloz Breast Center. If you wish to participate as a business, please contact our office at 661.200.1200. For more information visit our Calendar of Giving for ways in which you can support our efforts.

Once again, we encourage our community to prioritize their health. Don't forget to schedule your routine screenings and make those important visits to your healthcare provider when the opportunity arises. Our brand-new Henry Mayo Newhall Primary Care office is open and ready to accept patients. Click here to schedule an appointment. Rest assured, Henry Mayo stands prepared to meet all your healthcare needs in a safe and caring environment.
