As I shift my attention to the upcoming legislative session, I want to remind everyone that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. As a breast cancer survivor myself (8 years cancer free and counting!), I can't stress how important it is to get your annual mammogram. But don't stop there – self exams can find problems that mammograms miss, especially if you have dense tissue. Talk to your doctor about the type of exam that is right for you and your circumstances, and keep scrolling to see where to find a screening center near you.
You may have noticed the colors changing outside, but that also means it's getting chillier. You can apply now for home heating assistance before the mercury drops even further. Please read below to learn about this valuable resource.
There will be plenty of Halloween activities in the coming days so please be sure to walk safely when trick-or-treating, drive slowly in neighborhoods, and carry glow sticks or flash lights to help drivers see you. CLICK HERE for more Halloween safety tips.
