As Breast Cancer Awareness Month ends, carry one message into every month: early detection matters. Breast cancer found before it has spread beyond the breast is often more treatable, and outcomes are generally much better.
Make breast health part of your routine. Learn your personal risk, talk with your healthcare provider about recommended screening, and don't ignore new or unusual breast changes.
Children can be exposed to lead without showing any obvious signs of illness. Even low blood lead levels can affect learning, attention, and development. Screening and testing can help identify exposure so families can take steps to protect their children's health.
