The Pardee Hospital Foundation plays an integral role in supporting breast health for women in our community. Their Mammo on the Go bus is yet another way they are expanding access to life saving preventative care. This mobile mammography unit combines state-of-the-art, digital 3D breast imaging that is available at the UNC Health Pardee Cancer Center with location-based convenience.

Join Women Helping Women and First Bank as we host the Mammo on the Go bus to promote awareness of this mobile service.

“The valued and growing partnership between The Pardee Foundation and First Bank is a great example of the teamwork we bring to our community to encourage women across Western North Carolina to be active and involved in their own health. Together we can make a difference one woman at a time.”

First Bank, the Pardee Hospital Foundation, and Women Helping Women

Women Helping Women (WHW) is a subset of the Pardee Hospital Foundation that was founded 25 years ago to help low-and-moderate-income women receive critical medical care. Over the years, this program has become a hallmark of the Pardee Hospital Foundation and a significant force for good within our community.

Designed to provide supplementary support for women who require necessary medical treatment but cannot shoulder the costs, WHW steps forward to fill this financial gap in women’s moment of greatest need.

First Bank Celebrates Twinkal Patel During Women’s History Month Twinkal Patel, First Bank’s Level III IT Specialist, wants to promote growth and education, inspiring others to achieve their goals. Twinkal was born and raised in India. Once she moved to the United States, she obtained her degree in Computer Science. Afterwards, she started her banking career as a manager in training and quickly became a branch manager. Her willingness to learn, along with the skills she has developed from her work experience have made her into the effective leader that she is today. She has had the opportunity to work in several different roles throughout her career, all of which contributed to her knowledge of banking and understanding of different departments. There is nothing she can think of that she hasn’t done, and to her that’s the beauty of working at a community bank. Twinkal stated, “Although with our merger we’re not truly titled a community bank, we are community minded. That’s the key! Being community minded is what we need to always think about and look forward to on a daily basis.” As she thought back to earlier years, she has known the most influential women in her life to be her mother and grandmother. “My mother taught me to be strong, independent, and confident,” stated Patel. For her, Twinkal’s grandmother was a great role model as her kindness, positivity, and compassion touched the lives of so many people. She is so blessed to have these two amazing women in her life, as they continue to motivate her and inspire her every single day. When asked how she views her role as a woman in leadership, Twinkal reflected and stated, “It is very important to empower your team members, regardless of their gender.” She believes that as a leader, we should be establishing an equal and positive work environment, so that each of our team members feel that they are an essential part of the team. Furthermore, we need to always remember that leaders are chosen to set a vision; they encourage and achieve goals as a team, and lead by example to earn the respect of their team members. Twinkal tells other women who want to take on more leadership roles that no dream is too big. 3 min read
