Program areas at Wig Out
Wig Out On Wheels (WOOW) program in partnership with Harris County Health System/MD Anderson Cancer Center. "WOOW" is a mobile unit (RV) that is cheerfully decorated and stocked with wigs, scarves, hats, toiletries, cosmetics, skincare items which are given to low-income cancer patients. We also provide educational materials & critical information regarding all types of cancers, the side effects of treatments, the importance of prevention & early detection, etc. WOOW visits Houston's county hospitals / treatment facilities each week through its partnership with Harris (County) Health System (harrishealth.org) and MD Anderson Cancer Center.
Wig Out Breast Cancer Awareness Corporate and Community Initiatives. Breat cancer surviors/ambassadors educate our community-at-large about breat cancer prevention and detection. Educational teaching series at Crestwood, Archrock, Lululemon, churches, and other groups.
Wig Out's Community Assistance Program services are also performed on WOOW at hospitals/cancer treatment facilities not affiliated with Harris Health System located in the greater Houston area. We also see patients by appointment at our office, or conduct vitual appointments and mail wig kits to recipients. This program is an extension of the program described in the above program line 28. We drive WOOW or private vehicles to Houston-area cancer facilities to provide our services and items. We also meet with patients in our office via appointment or virtually and mail their items to them. We have served an additional 208 patients through this program. Our virtual and mailing services are still in progress through Covid. We would love to replicate our successful model around Texas and USA.
