October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Did you know that in the United States, 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime? In 2022, nearly 339,000 women and more than 2,700 men in the U.S. will be diagnosed. That’s an average of one breast cancer diagnosis every 2 minutes.
What can you do? Early detection is the key.
If you don’t have insurance, the CDPHE Women’s Wellness Connection program can help with free mammograms and pap smears.
Transition of services is coming in 2023!
Disease Management and Prevention was one of the top issues our community identified as part of the Public Health Improvement Plan.
The Douglas County Health Department will provide Chronic Disease Prevention services beginning in 2023. In the meantime, please continue using resources from Tri-County Health Department.
