A Priority

Make Your Health 

When was the last time you made your own health a priority?  If you skipped your annual  checkup or a recommended cancer or health screening, you are not alone.

A December 2020 survey shows African Americans (41%) and Hispanics (40%) are most likely to have missed, postponed, or cancelled a health appointment. African American and Hispanic women are most likely to have missed a mammogram or PAP/HPV test.

TIME TO SCHEDULE YOUR MAMMOGRAM

WHY ARE HEALTH SCREENINGS AND CHECKUPS IMPORTANT?

All families have been touched by cancer in one way or another. Both my parents are survivors  and we all know how fortunate they have been.

As is usually the case, early detection makes all the difference. When it comes to cancer, early-stage diagnosis can save a life.

DON’T FORGET THE DENTIST!

If you have skipped a dental cleaning and checkup, it’s also time to schedule an appointment at your dentist’s office. We often forget it’s not only about aesthetics, but it’s also part of our  general health.
