Acela lived with abdominal pain and heavy uterine bleeding for two years. When her health condition worsened, TrueCare’s Women’s Health provider Dr. Eimenah Mostofian, a Project Access San Diego (PASD) volunteer and Champions for Health Board member, connected Acela to PASD. Dr. Mostofian has a deep heart for TrueCare’s mission of ensuring everyone has access to health care, regardless of income or insurance status. She’s been an obstetrician/gynecologist for over a decade, empowering women and advocating for their needs.
Acela was very nervous about having surgery but knowing Dr. Mostofian was by her side helped her overcome her fears. With Project Access and Palomar Health, Dr. Mostofian was able to help Acela get the care she needed and set her on a path of healing. Now, Acela can live without pain or the shame and embarrassment that can accompany female health issues. Acela is grateful for the assistance she received from both TrueCare and Champions for Health.
TrueCare supports Dr. Mostofian’s work by giving her time to volunteer. Since 2008, Project Access has facilitated care for more than 9,600 uninsured patients like Acela, which is only possible through the dedication of volunteer specialty physicians.
