October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And yes, men get breast cancer too. Gentlemen, learn about the signs and symptoms of breast cancer in men. And remember, early detection saves lives.

More than 2,500 men in the U.S. are diagnosed with breast cancer every year. While accounting for only about 1% of total breast cancers in the U.S., there are some countries in which male breast cancer is more common.

Attention Residents! The ick is already circulating. We are seeing hospitalizations and outbreaks already caused by influenza and COVID in our community.

If you are sick, please stay home. Remember to cover your cough and wash your hands. Together, we can help protect our aging and immunocompromised populations.
