September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about one of the most common cancers among men. Prostate cancer affects 1 in 8 men during their lifetime, and while it can be serious, the good news is that when detected early, it is often highly treatable.

Signs and Symptoms to Watch For Prostate cancer doesn’t always show symptoms early on, but possible warning signs can include: • Trouble urinating • Weak or […]

Fall means cooler weather, tailgate parties, and cheering on your favorite football team. But let’s be honest, football season can also mean extra calories, less activity, and a few pounds creeping on before the holidays even arrive. That’s where our team steps in.

September is a powerful reminder that our health is worth prioritizing. This month is recognized nationally for raising awareness of several important health topics that affect individuals and families in our community. • Prostate Cancer Awareness – Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, but early detection through regular screenings can make a life-saving difference. If you or a loved one is over 50, or has a family history, this is a good time to talk with your provider. • Ovarian Cancer Awareness – Often called the “silent” cancer, ovarian cancer symptoms can be subtle, like bloating, pelvic pain, or feeling full quickly. Knowing your body and speaking up about changes is key. • Childhood & Blood Cancer Awareness – September also shines a light on the youngest fighters and those battling leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. Advances in treatment continue to bring hope, but awareness and support are […]
