🚨Medicare Open Enrollment starts today! 🚨

October 15 marks the beginning of Medicare Open Enrollment, running through December 7. This is an opportunity to review your current coverage and determine whether it still meets your needs for 2027.

One of the most important decisions to understand is the difference between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage. While both provide access to Medicare-covered healthcare benefits, they can differ in provider choice, costs, coverage rules, and requirements for getting care.

Over the coming weeks, SCK Health will share information to help our community better understand these differences and the questions to ask before making a decision.

Your healthcare coverage matters. Take time to understand your options before making a change.

Visit Medicare.gov to explore your options and find official Medicare information.

Know your facts. Know your options.

🎀 NERVOUS ABOUT YOUR FIRST MAMMOGRAM? YOU’RE NOT ALONE.

If you’ve never had a mammogram before, the “what ifs” and unanswered questions can feel scary. And honestly? It’s completely normal to feel nervous.

Fear can come from uncertainty, past discomfort, or worrying about what your results might show. Those are all valid concerns. 💗

But here’s something we want you to know: you don’t have to face those worries alone.

Our team at SCK Health is here to help you through the process, answer your questions, and make your experience as comfortable as possible.

And the exam itself? It’s quick. Most mammograms take just a few minutes, with the entire appointment typically taking 15 minutes or less.

Don’t let the fear of the unknown keep you from taking care of yourself. Take a deep breath. Ask your questions. Let us help you take that first step.

And if you’ve had a mammogram before, share a little encouragement in the comments. Your words might help ease someone else’s worries and give them the confidence to schedule.

Ready to take the next step? Schedule your mammogram today.

You’ve got this. We’ve got you. 🎀

Today is Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day. 💗

Today, we recognize those living with metastatic breast cancer, honor those we have lost, and raise awareness about the importance of research, support, and early detection.

🎀What is metastatic breast cancer?

Also known as advanced or Stage IV breast cancer, metastatic breast cancer occurs when cancer spreads from the breast to other parts of the body. It may develop when breast cancer returns after treatment, and it can also be present at the time of an initial diagnosis. Although metastatic breast cancer currently has no cure, treatments can help slow the disease, manage symptoms, improve quality of life, and help people live longer.

🎀Why does early detection matter?

Early detection is an important part of breast health. Regular screening and paying attention to changes in your body can help identify concerns that need medical evaluation. However, metastatic breast cancer can still develop, including after treatment for earlier-stage breast cancer. If you notice changes in your breasts or experience new, persistent symptoms, talk with your healthcare provider.

At SCK Health, we encourage everyone to make their breast health a priority. We offer 3D mammography right here at home, making it easier to access screening close to our community. Call SCK Health at 620-441-5716 to schedule.

How can you help?
💗Share reliable information to raise awareness.
💗Offer encouragement and support to those living with metastatic breast cancer.
💗Check in on friends and loved ones affected by breast cancer.
💗Help keep conversations about breast health, treatment, and research going.

Today, and every day, let's stand alongside those affected by metastatic breast cancer and remind them that they are not alone.

Let's keep the conversation going. Share this post to help raise awareness and leave a message of encouragement for someone who may need it today.
