Early Detection of Breast Cancer
In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the governor's office and public health officials are reinforcing the critical importance of early detection in the fight against breast cancer. Regular mammograms remain the most effective method for identifying breast cancer at its earliest and most treatable stages.
For Connecticut residents who may not be able to afford regular mammograms, the Connecticut Department of Public Health’s Early Detection and Prevention Program offers free breast cancer screenings. This program is available for low income residents and those with limited or no health insurance. Services will be available at various locations across the state.
Click here for more information to find out if you qualify for free screenings, if you need assistance accessing a mammogram, or for other available resources. You can also contact the Department of Public Health at 860-509-7804 for more information.

Lithium-Ion Battery Fire Safety
The National Fire Prevention Association is raising awareness about the dangers of lithium-ion batteries because they can overheat, start a fire, or explode if damaged or not used correctly. This is concerning because lithium-ion batteries power many of the electronics we use in our homes every day, including smartphones, tablets, power and lawn tools, laptops, headphones, and toys.
You can take action and improve your safety by knowing where lithium-ion batteries are located in your home and going over tips to safely buy, charge, and recycle those batteries to ensure you are prepared for an emergency when it happens. |
