October - Breast Cancer Awareness Month

"Each year in the U.S., about 240,000 cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in women and about 2,100 in men. About 42,000 women and 500 men in the U.S. die each year from breast cancer. Black women have a higher rate of death from breast cancer than all other women." (Source: CDC) Learn the basic info here.

Early detection is vital in the fight against breast cancer. Check your breasts regularly for lumps or other changes. USFHP allows you to self-refer for your annual screening mammogram. Should you need further in-depth examinations, your PCP will refer you to a specialist.
