Did you know that at least a third of common types of cancer are preventable? 3.7 million lives can be saved if we are able to educate more people about preventing, detecting, and treating cancer.
Luckily, you can take steps to start preventing cancer and learning more about the warning signs today.
A diet high in processed meats, sodium, and lack of fruits/veggies puts you at risk for cancer. Change your diet around to include less fast food and processed options to help keep your body healthy.
Another step you can take to prevent cancer is by increasing your level of physical activity. Exercise reduces your overall body fat, which reduces the risk of getting breast, colon, and abdominal cancers.

Saber Healthcare Group is committed to protecting our communities by giving our staff and residents the opportunity to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. A trained CVS pharmacy professional will be administering the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, depending on the location, in our facilities in the upcoming weeks.
Please consider giving consent for your loved one to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. We would also like for you to consider receiving the vaccine yourself when it becomes available to the general public. If you have any questions about who should or shouldn’t receive the vaccine, please reach out to a doctor or physician.
Our communities will continue to protect our residents, staff, and visitors by continuing to follow all local, state, and federal guidelines regarding COVID-19. Not every staff member and resident will be vaccinated, so we will continue to take measures to keep our communities safe.
