Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! We encourage patients over the age of 40 to speak with their provider about regular breast cancer screenings every 1-2 years. Early detection through screenings like mammograms can increase the chances of successful treatment. Schedule a visit with your provider today if you are due for a screening or have any concerns.
Get Your Flu Shot!
As the flu season begins, the flu shot is now available at all LCHC clinic locations for patients ages 6 months and up. It is important to protect yourself and your family from the flu virus, and getting the flu shot not only reduces your chances of getting sick but also helps prevent the spread of the flu to others. To schedule your flu shot, call your Care Team or ask about it at your next medical appointment. Stay healthy this flu season!
