Menopause is a natural phase of life; however, it brings a range of significant physical and emotional changes such as hot flashes, mood shifts, and disrupted sleep. In which these can impact your overall well-being and mental health.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Today, October 17th is also national Mammography Day.
A time to raise awareness, support those affected, and emphasize the importance of early detection and prevention.

If you have a strong family history of breast cancer, it’s important to understand your personal risk. Schedule an appointment with our nurse practitioners, Lesley K. or Leanna P., to discuss whether you may be a candidate for genetic (hereditary) cancer screening or breast cancer risk assessment.

We stand with the survivors, remember those we’ve lost, and support those currently facing a diagnosis. We hold your hand through all the complicated evaluations that are now available.
