February is National Cancer Prevention Month — a time dedicated to raising awareness about steps we can take to reduce cancer risk and support those affected.
Cancer prevention focuses on everyday choices that protect long-term health. Simple habits like avoiding to***co, maintaining a healthy diet, staying physically active, protecting your skin from the sun, limiting alcohol, and keeping up with recommended screenings can significantly lower cancer risk. Early detection through regular checkups can save lives.
You can help by spreading awareness, encouraging loved ones to schedule screenings, supporting cancer research organizations, volunteering, or donating to programs that assist patients and families. Even small actions can make a big difference in creating a healthier future for our communities.
