Why is Breast Cancer Awareness so Important?

Today, there are more than 3.1 million breast cancer survivors in the U.S., including women still being treated and those who have finished treatment. “A heightened awareness of the disease has unquestionably led to a greater number of women being screened for breast cancer,” said Tuite. “Patients are experiencing better outcomes as a result of early diagnosis, state-of-the-art treatment options and less extensive surgery.”

We would like to give a warm welcome to our new employees that joined us in the month of September! We are so happy to have you on our team!

Harmful Partnerships

When Someone You Love is Abusive

Abuse can be difficult to see, especially when it’s in your own relationship. It can start slowly, and it’s not always physical. You may not realize that the small comments a loved one makes to you are doing harm. You may even make excuses for them. They’re stressed from work or the pandemic.

October Gratitude-

Our October Gratitude goes to Olivia! Quality Control and documentation compliance are looking superb! Oversight of our team's notes and accounting through the learning curve though challenging is looking great. Appreciation from leadership as we are preparing for CARF in the early stages.

Our administrator, Kelly, will be teaching 4 weeks of Domestic Violence prevention and response to domestic violence.

Carver in October

Carver will be doing fun fall activities to celebrate the fall holidays. Carver will also be incorporating a training in self breast exams during group, discussing the importance of exams, and when to do the exams. Carver will also be doing a walk for breast cancer during the month of October.

Destiny in October
