Many people still associate breast cancer with finding a lump. But breast cancer does not always begin with something you can see or feel. Mammography can identify changes in the breast before they can be felt.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017 despite not having any visible symptoms. My routine mammogram caught the cancer early and allowed me to quickly seek treatment. Mammograms can do the same for anyone.

Your local health department can help you receive breast cancer screenings and care even if you are un-insured or under-insured. The Northeast Health District’s Breast and Cervical Cancer Program (BCCP) can assist with breast cancer screening, mammography, clinical breast evaluation, cervical cancer screening, as well as testing following an abnormal screening and referral and coordination of follow-up care.

For a woman who is un-insured or under-insured, having someone help guide her through this process can make an enormous difference. An abnormal screening result is frightening enough. No woman should also have to feel that she has nowhere to turn because she cannot afford the next step in her care.

Call your local health department to learn more about BCCP services.

October is Health Literacy Month

Health literacy empowers people to make informed decisions about their health.

Individuals can help build their own health literacy by seeking out health information from reliable sources like MyHealthfinder, a website from the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

MyHealthfinder provides accessible, expert-backed health information on more than 100 topics in English and Spanish. https://odphp.health.gov/myhealthfinder

Flu season doesn't have to be scary!

Don't wait until flu season is in full swing to think about protecting yourself and your family.

Flu vaccines are one of the most effective ways to reduce your chance of having a full infection with the flu, and flu vaccines are now available at all Northeast Health District health department clinics. For locations, please visit: https://northeasthealthdistrict.org/locations

Flu vaccines are available at low to no cost, and we accept many health insurance plans.
