It's and here are three things to know about the most recent screening guidelines:

1️⃣: The Ontario Breast Screening program has dropped the age of screening for average risk women from 50 to 40. Women who are 40+ can now access mammograms through the screening program without requiring a requisition from their family doctor.

2️⃣: There has been a rise in the incidence of breast cancer in women as early as 20 years of age. In Canada, approximately 13-15% of newly diagnosed breast cancer occurrences are in women between 40-49.

3️⃣: There are certain minority groups that are at a risk of developing breast cancer earlier.

Easier access to screening means that we are helping to ensure that cancer is detected in at-risk populations earlier. Early diagnosis saves lives and minimizes the long-term effects of cancer and treatment!

For Cecilia Amoakohene, patient care starts with listening.

As an UHN Patient Partner, Cecilia works closely with patients to understand the different types of patient-reported harm that may be experienced in the health care system.

This week marks . UHN is proud to be progressing further in its patient safety journey, alongside quality and safety experts like Healthcare Excellence Canada, by leading the development and implementation of a process to preventable non-physical harm events.

"It shows patients: We see you, we hear you, and we believe you. And now we're elevating your voices and doing something about it," says Cecilia.

Two years after a COVID-19 infection, Eduardo Escalona Gonzalez, a 53-year-old Cuban native, developed severe heart complications and was diagnosed with cardiomalacia and pulmonary hypertension. His uncontrollable coughing led him to seek care, ultimately bringing him to the Miami Transplant Institute.

Under the care of Dr. Hari Mallidi, Toronto chief of cardiac surgery and program director of heart transplantation at MTI, Eduardo received a life-saving left ventricular assist device (LVAD) on March 12, 2024. The four-hour procedure gave him a second chance at life.

"I feel like a normal person again,” Eduardo said. “I would tell anyone in my situation to not be scared, because the LVAD changes your life completely – it saved my life."

Seven months later, Eduardo has regained his health and is working with the MTI team toward a potential heart transplant.
