Community Pelvic Health Program
💜 1 in 3 women experience pelvic floor dysfunction in their lifetime, yet 50% of those in need can’t afford treatment.
💜 Last year, the only free pelvic physio clinic in town was unable to treat half of its referrals due to limited capacity.
💜 Our goal is to raise $24,600 to serve 41 women who were unable to access care.
How It Works
