The Center features state-of-the-art equipment and highly trained clinicians. Jefferson-Honickman Breast Imaging also contains a stereotactic core biopsy unit with digital imaging capability and three high-resolution breast ultrasound units. MANNA (Metropolitan Area Neighborhood Nutrition Alliance)Delivering Nourishment to People with Life Threatening Illnesses Extending support to the nutritional well-being of people living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other life threatening illnesses, THF commits resources to Philadelphia-based MANNA. Formed in 1990 by members of the First Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia, MANNA is a non-profit, non-sectarian organization that provides essential and specialized services to men, women and children living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other life-threatening illness. A small professional staff and 1,000 dedicated volunteers - drawn from all walks of life - bring over 40,000 nutritious, freshly prepared, home-delivered meals each month to individuals and families living with a life-threatening illness. MANNA dieticians promote wellness through nutrition education and counseling. Through these services, MANNA provides opportunities for caring people to extend loving support to families, friends, and neighbors living in the Delaware Valley who are at acute nutritional risk. THF has also supported and continues to support other AIDS organizations including: Incarnation Children's Center, International Family AIDS Program/Columbia University, St. Mary's Family Respite Center, and Sparrow Ministries. |
