Our mission with the Laredo A&M Mothers Club is to “contribute in every way to the comfort and welfare of the students of Texas A&M and cooperate with the University in maintaining a high standardof moral conduct and intellectual attainment.” We also stimulate local interest in the university by raising funds for scholarships and donations to organizations at Texas A&M.
Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we had a guest speaker discuss with the Aggie Moms the importance of taking care of ourselves. Dr. Yanick Ekortarh from Laredo Medical Center met with the moms to remind us that is very important to get our yearly checkup. He stressed that early detection of cancer provides the best chance for overall survival of this disease.
Dr. Ekortarh is available at his office located at 4151 Jaime Zapata Memorial Hwy #205, Laredo, Texas, 78046 should you need any further information.
