October Is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

It’s that time of year again where everywhere you look you will see something pink. Pink is the official color for breast cancer and thanks to the NFL and other major partners, breast cancer awareness is at an all-time high. Unfortunately, about 1 in 8 women born today in the United States will get breast cancer at some point. We can still do more.
National Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a chance to raise awareness about the importance of detecting breast cancer early. Make a difference! Spread the word about mammograms, and encourage communities, organizations, families, and individuals to get involved.
To schedule your mammogram please call 320-839-6157 today.

National Immunization Awareness Month
August 1, 2018 By
National Immunization Awareness Month (NIAM) is an annual observance
to highlight the importance of vaccination for people of all ages.
- NIAM was established to encourage people of all ages to make sure they
are up to date on the vaccines recommended for them. - Communities have continued to use the month of August each year to
raise awareness about the important role vaccines play in preventing
serious, sometimes deadly, diseases. - Immunization is a shared responsibility. Families, healthcare
professionals, and public health officials must work together to help
protect the entire community.
Talk to your health care professional to make sure your family is up to date on all the recommended vaccines.
- Back-to-school appointments are a perfect time to make sure your
children are up-to-date on all the vaccines recommended for them. - Because vaccines aren’t just for kids, you can take CDC’s Adult Vaccine
Quiz to find out which vaccines may be recommended for you. Take the
customized printout to discuss with your doctor at your next healthcare
encounter.
