Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a reminder of how important it is to take charge of your health through education, preventive care, and early detection. At North Side Christian Health Center, we want to empower every patient with the knowledge and resources needed to reduce risks and catch potential concerns as early as possible.
Why Early Detection Matters
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women, but when it’s found early, treatment is often more effective and outcomes are much better. Regular screenings and knowing your own body can make a life-saving difference.
Steps You Can Take
Schedule regular mammograms. Talk with your provider about when to begin screening based on your age, medical history, and risk factors.
Get clinical breast exams. Routine check-ups with a medical professional are an important part of preventive care.
Know what’s normal for you. If you notice any changes—such as a lump, skin changes, or nipple discharge—don’t wait to get it checked.
Take Action This Month
October is the perfect time to put your health first. Schedule your mammogram today! Early detection saves lives—and your health is worth it.
