Capital One supports Gift of Life cancer screening efforts.
With the generous support of Capital One, Gift of Life Women’s Breast Health & Cancer Prevention Program provided 40 medically underserved women with free breast health services that included screenings and diagnostic tests at the Dauphin Center in Beaumont. Nicole Benton, Capital One Market Manager, and Linda Richardson, Capital One Administrative Support Associate, attended the site to meet clients and share their belief in the importance of good health and wellness.
Capital One is a flourishing financial institution that “exemplifies the gold standard” of community impact by doing good for its customers, associates, and communities. As the nation’s fifth-largest consumer bank and eighth-largest bank overall, the company’s foundational mission is to help customers succeed by bringing ingenuity, simplicity and humanity to banking.
For about 20 years, Capital One has been a champion of Gift of Life’s mission through its provision of educational outreach of essential literature bags containing materials that are distributed to thousands of Southeast Texans and free medical services for at-risk women. Throughout the pandemic, the company has been a proponent for growth and economic success by ensuring that community and philanthropic initiatives are fully integrated into its business model.
According to Gift of Life, the altruistic participation of Capital One illustrates its commitment to helping enhance health care services for individuals who cannot afford health insurance or high deductibles. The company has been an effective advocate for Gift of Life Women’s Health Program, which provides free health care services throughout seven Southeast Texas counties, including the provision of free mammograms and diagnostic testing.
With the endorsement of Capital One and other generous donors, Gift of Life has helped extend the lives of nearly 350 Southeast Texans who have been diagnosed with breast or prostate cancer and provided cancer treatment.
