Early detection makes a difference! 🩺
Nearly 2 in 5 Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, but finding it early greatly improves outcomes. Screening and regular check-ups can catch cancer at its earliest stage, when treatment is most effective.
Recommended check-ups by age and gender:
• Women 21+: Pap test every 3 years; mammogram starting at 40–50 depending on risk
• Men 50+: Prostate check with your doctor; routine physical exams
• Adults 50+: Colorectal screening (colonoscopies or stool tests)
• Everyone: Skin checks, dental exams, and regular blood pressure/bloodwork
Take a small step today for your health: schedule your check-up or screening and stay proactive. 📅
💡These are general recommendations. Always speak with your physician or healthcare provider to understand which screenings are right for you based on your personal health history.

Health Myth Debunked 🧠
Myth: Dementia care means losing independence.
Truth: The right support can actually help people stay independent longer.
Supportive care isn’t about taking over—it’s about helping with the things that feel challenging, while encouraging dignity, choice, and confidence in everyday life. With the right care in place, many people living with dementia can continue enjoying familiar routines, activities, and time at home.
Early, compassionate support can make daily life safer, calmer, and more fulfilling—for both individuals and their families. 💜
