This weekend (January 23-24, 2016), Vieques en Rescate held a free acupuncture clinic at their offices. Dozens of residents received treatment with priority for cancer patients.
VER has registered more than 100 cancer patients in our small island of 9,000 residents. Patients receive free services such as medical supplies, transportation, etc. Our cancer mortality rate is higher than most other places in PR perhaps because of the lack of health services, the military contamination, among other factors. Below are the buttons we made in memory of our cancer victims.
