Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an important time to rededicate
yourself to breast health. We hope that you are performing regular
monthly self breast exams, having annual clinical exams by a medical
professional and an annual mammogram after the age of 40. If you have a
family history of breast cancer, you should start mammograms earlier or
when your doctor advises you to do so.
