🌸 International Women’s Day – March 8 🌸

Today, the Windsor Family Health Team proudly celebrates International Women’s Day — a time to recognize the achievements, strength, and resilience of women in our community and around the world.

From the women who lead, heal, teach, advocate, and care for others, to those who are navigating challenges with courage and determination — we see you, we value you, and we thank you.

In primary care, women play a vital role as patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and leaders. We are committed to supporting women’s health at every stage of life — from adolescence to menopause and beyond — through compassionate, evidence-based care.

💜 Today, we celebrate progress.
💜 We acknowledge ongoing inequities.
💜 We commit to continuing the work toward health equity and empowerment for all women.

💙 Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month 💙

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about the importance of screening, prevention, and early detection.

Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable cancers when found early. In Canada, adults aged 50–74 who are at average risk are encouraged to take part in regular screening.

✔️ Screening can find cancer early
✔️ It may also detect and remove pre-cancerous polyps
✔️ Early detection saves lives

👉 Come visit our Health Promotion Booth in the Family Practice waiting room to learn more about colorectal cancer screening and how to reduce your risk.

📅 Book an appointment with your primary care provider if you have questions or want to know if screening is right for you.
