Happy National Day of Friendship!

There's something powerful about having a friend by your side during important health moments. Whether it's scheduling appointments together, sharing transportation, or simply having someone there who understands the journey.

Today we celebrate the friendships that make taking care of ourselves a little easier and a lot less lonely.

Today we celebrate the girlfriends who show up on this .

The ones who drive you to appointments when you're too anxious to go alone. Who sit in waiting rooms, holding your hand through the scary parts. Who remind you that taking care of yourself isn't selfish—it's necessary.

At CRL Women's Imaging, we see it every day. The friend who insists "we're doing this together" when it comes to mammograms. The sister who won't let you skip your annual screening. The colleague who shares her own story to help you feel less afraid.

Your health journey is never meant to be traveled alone. Today, we honor the girlfriends who make us braver, stronger, and more committed to caring for ourselves.

Tag the friend who's been your health advocate. We see you both.

Today is World Lung Cancer Day, highlighting the power of early detection in saving lives.

Lung cancer affects 2.5 million people globally each year, but there's encouraging news: when detected early, five-year survival rates can reach 65%. Advanced low-dose CT screening technology now uses 90% less radiation while providing the detailed imaging needed to spot changes before any symptoms appear.

Here's something that might surprise you - many people diagnosed with lung cancer today have never smoked. This makes awareness and open conversations with your healthcare provider more important than ever.

At CRL Women's Imaging, we witness daily how early detection through advanced imaging changes lives. While our expertise centers on breast health, we understand the critical role that quality radiology plays in all aspects of healthcare.

As summer winds down, take a moment for your monthly breast self-exam. Regular checks help you maintain awareness of your breast health year-round, potentially leading to earlier detection of any changes or concerns.

Today on International Day of Friendship, we're celebrating the power of connection in healthcare.

In women's imaging, collaboration and support among healthcare professionals create the foundation for exceptional care. When teams work together with trust and respect, it shows in every interaction and every outcome.

We're grateful for the dedicated professionals who choose this field and the supportive relationships that make challenging work rewarding.

Today we recognize the friendships that strengthen our healthcare community.

"Can I just get an ultrasound instead of a mammogram?"

This is one of the most common questions we hear from women. Here's what every woman needs to know: mammograms are your BEST defense against breast cancer because they can detect what ultrasounds simply cannot.

Those tiny calcium deposits that mammograms catch? They're often the earliest—and most treatable—signs of breast cancer. Mammograms detect 85-90% of breast cancers, making them irreplaceable as your first line of screening.

As Jillian Karow, MD, Medical Director of CRL Women's Imaging, says: "Early detection of breast cancer saves lives. And with the tools of 3D mammography/tomosynthesis and supplemental screening breast ultrasound we are better equipped than ever to positively impact women's health."

Today is International Self Care Day!

Self-care isn't selfish—it's a beautiful way to honor yourself. Whether it's taking a quiet moment with your morning coffee, scheduling that mammogram you've been putting off, going for a walk in nature, or simply saying "no" to protect your energy, every act of self-care matters.

Your health journey is uniquely yours, and honoring it with compassion and intention is one of the most powerful forms of self-love.

What does self-care look like for you today? Share in the comments below—we'd love to celebrate the many ways women prioritize their wellbeing.
