October 13- Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day. 💚
Metastatic breast cancer is an aggressive, Stage IV form of the disease that has spread outside of the breasts. It generally starts as early breast cancer before spreading- which is why early detection and treatment is important. In 2017, a study from the National Cancer Institute shows that metastatic breast cancer cases are increasing in number, with 150,000 new cases of MBC in the U.S.

November is #NationalDiabetesAwarenessMonth ⚕️🥼
🔶More than 34 million people in the United States have diabetes, and 1 in 5 of them don’t know they have it.
🔶More than 88 million US adults—over a third—have prediabetes, and more than 84% of them don’t know they have it.
🔶Diabetes is the 7th leading cause of death in the United States (and may be underreported).
🔶Type 2 diabetes accounts for approximately 90% to 95% of all diagnosed cases of diabetes; type 1 diabetes accounts for approximately 5-10%.
🔶In the last 20 years, the number of adults diagnosed with diabetes has more than doubled as the American population has aged and become more overweight or obese.

February is ❤️ American Heart Month❤️ , a great time to revisit heart-healthy practices! One way to ensure good health, is to keep tabs on your blood pressure, especially as doctors visits are down due to the pandemic. Self-monitoring can provide more accurate readings than what you get at the doctor's office when stress and anxiety may impact results. Learn more here: https://bit.ly/2YNyw5B
HEART.ORG
AHA, AMA urge widespread self-measured blood pressure monitoring
❤️ February is American Heart Month, a time to raise awareness of heart disease, which is the #1 killer of Americans. ❤️ This year's heart month is especially important, as it becomes evident that COVID-19 can negatively affect the heart and vascular system's overall health.
The good news is that in most cases, heart disease is preventable! Reduce your risk of heart disease by: not smoking or quitting smoking, controlling blood sugar and cholesterol, treating high blood pressure, getting 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week, and attending regular check ups!
