Cancer screenings are an important way to stay on top of your health. Early detection from screenings increases the chance that certain cancers can be prevented or treated earlier. With the start of a new year, now is the perfect time to get organized and get these important appointments on your calendar for 2026.

The first Friday of February (today) is National Wear Red Day. The focus is on raising awareness about heart disease and stroke in women. Heart disease is a significant health threat to Americans and a leading cause of death worldwide. The good news is that 87 percent of all heart issues are believed to be preventable, and progress is being made in education and research. Adopting a healthy lifestyle can help you prevent the disease and improve your outcome if you already have it.

Today is World Cancer Day! Every year on February 4, the Union for International Cancer Control helps raise awareness around the world about cancer. It also hopes to spur government action and find new treatments. Hundreds of activities and events take place worldwide on that date. The theme is "United by Unique," with a message designed to recognize that every person's experience with cancer is unique and will require a united commitment to look beyond the disease and see the person before the patient.

Receiving a cancer diagnosis can bring up a variety of emotions that may be difficult to express. Writing therapy, also called expressive or therapeutic writing, can help a patient understand their diagnosis, work through their feelings and reflect on what the disease means to them and their family and friends. Some studies have shown that writing therapy can even help boost emotional well-being and improve positive physical abilities.

Simply walking outdoors during the winter increases the risk of falling. When possible, stay in during bad weather. When you must get out, ensure all of your sidewalks are cleared of snow and ice. If you cannot remove the snow, ask for help or hire someone to do it. Other precautions to reduce your risk of falling include:
• Wear shoes with good traction. Avoid any other type of footwear.
• Dress warm to keep muscles relaxed.
• Get out of your car slowly.
• Watch out for black ice.

Where to go for cancer treatment is an important decision, and it may be one patients don't even realize they have a choice on. Not all treatment centers offer the same options. Patients can start by understanding their diagnosis, the proposed goals of treatment and what services are available at each center under consideration. Learn about accreditations, amenities and educational assistance options.

In partnership with the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF), January is designated as Fire Fighter Cancer Awareness Month with a purpose to provide fire fighters the necessary tools and guidance to develop life-saving protocols for cancer prevention and to offer support to those with a cancer diagnosis. This is a critical focus as occupational cancers are the leading cause of line-of-duty deaths in the fire service.

Once someone receives a cancer diagnosis, connecting with the best resources available to help is extremely valuable. Many hospitals and medical centers have patient advocates to help with questions and issues related to cancer care. There are national patient advocacy organizations for most of the commonly diagnosed cancers, as well as many locally based options depending on where the patient lives.

January is National Blood Donor Month. Blood donations can help many cancer patients, especially those with blood cancers. This month we recognize America's donors and encourages more people to give blood and platelets.

January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month. Increases in screening and prevention have lowered the annual number of cervical cancer diagnoses, but continued efforts are needed.
