Winter is almost here! Before you leave, there are a few things to remember to take care of:

🗓️ Complete your annual exams.
📱 Set up patient portal to view important results.
👨‍⚕️ Let your providers office know you will be using a different pharmacy.
✅ Check insurance coverage and make sure your cards are up to date.
💙 Acquire any needed vaccines for your destination.

We hope you enjoy your warm winter down south! We will be thinking of you while we are shoveling our driveways 🥶 and we will see you in the spring!

Today we wore pink in support of Breast Cancer Awareness 🩷

Did you know that about 1 in 8 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime? When found early, the five year survival rate for localized breast cancer is about 99%. Early detection can save lives!

While breast cancer is most often found in women, men can be diagnosed with breast cancer too. According to the CDC, about 1 of every 100 breast cancer diagnosed in the United States is found in a man.

Let’s spread love, hope, and awareness! Oh, and don’t forget to schedule that mammogram 😉

Call Radiology at 906.387.0628 to schedule!
