Remember to Think Pink this October
October is breast cancer awareness month. Breast cancer is the most common cancer for women, but men can get it too. It impacts us all. Screenings and early detection are essential and can save lives. Healthcare offices are open and provide screenings, diagnosis, and treatment during this time. Do not delay your screening due to COVID-19, extra safety precautions are being taken. Call your healthcare provider to set up your appointment, and stay well!
