Regular cancer screenings such as mammograms are integral to the detection & treatment of breast cancer. The sooner problems are found, the sooner treatment can begin!

All women 50 to 74 years old who are at average risk for breast cancer should get a mammogram every two years.

Women who are 40 to 49 years old should talk to their doctor or other health care provider about when to start and how often to get a mammogram.

The Health Department offers several services that can help connect women with the tools they need to stay safe from breast cancer. Give us a call for more information:

Flu Season has officially started!

The flu or influenza is a viral illness that circulates seasonally. Due to its tendency to mutate rapidly, it’s difficult to create a vaccine that can grant long-term immunity, which is why we need yearly flu shots.

Flu shots provide the best protection from the flu virus and are very safe. Each year’s shot provides specific protection from the main flu strains in circulation.
Infection can still happen due to the many strains of flu out there.

However, your flu shot will still grant you protection by easing the symptoms and lessening the time spent sick.

Don’t hesitate! Make sure you get your flu shot this year! Walk-ins are always welcome! Or, call to schedule your appointment!

Flu season is here and if you do start feeling sick, make sure you use the best practices to keep yourself and others safe!

First and foremost, stay home and rest! You need time to fight off and recover from an infection. Plus, it keeps you from getting others sick.

Here are some more tips for you:
• Get Tested - Many illnesses have flu-like symptoms, so getting tested helps to figure out which illness is present.
• Get Rest - Get plenty of sleep and take it easy. Let your body fight off the infection and recover.
• Drink and Eat - Drink plenty of water and make sure you eat enough. Being sick can take its toll, so be sure to get plenty of nutrition.
• Medicine - Using over-the-counter medicines can help alleviate the symptoms while you get better.

If you have any questions about the flu or if you want to get a flu shot, then give the Health Department a call today!
