Living Well

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an important opportunity to focus on breast health, early detection, and prevention. Taking time to understand your personal risk, following recommended screening guidelines and speaking with your healthcare provider can make a difference. Hundreds of thousands of people are diagnosed with breast cancer every year, and there are over 4 million breast cancer survivors in the United States.


During this important month, we are reminded of the importance of knowing our bodies, staying proactive about our health, and supporting the many individuals and families affected by this disease.

Steps to Early Detection

Get practical information to help you understand your breast health, recognize potential changes, and make informed decisions about your care. From understanding your personal risk to knowing what to expect from mammograms and other screenings, this guide offers clear, helpful information for women at every stage of life.

Education & resources

Knowledge can help you feel more informed and prepared. Whether you’re taking steps to protect your breast health, navigating a diagnosis, supporting a loved one, or focusing on your well-being, having the right information can make a difference. Take a moment to learn more about the resources available to you. You don't have to navigate the journey alone. Explore information designed to help you make informed choices and take the next step toward a healthier future.
