April is Stress Awareness Month. Stress is a normal part of life, but when it becomes overwhelming, it can affect both your mental and physical health. Taking time to recognize stress and develop healthy coping habits can help improve your overall well-being.
Simple ways to manage stress include staying physically active, getting enough sleep, practicing deep breathing, and connecting with supportive friends and family. Small daily habits can make a big difference in maintaining balance and protecting your health.
If stress begins to interfere with your daily life, don’t hesitate to talk with your healthcare provider. Support and resources are available to help you manage stress and stay healthy.

🧪 Preventive Screenings Matter
March is a great reminder to catch up on preventive care.
Routine screenings can detect concerns early — often before symptoms appear.

Talk with your provider about:
✔ Blood pressure and cholesterol checks
✔ Colorectal cancer screening (age 45+)
✔ Diabetes screening
✔ Annual wellness exams

Preventive care helps you stay active, independent, and strong for the people who count on you.
Your health is worth the time.

💙 Colorectal Health Tips for Everyone 💙
Taking care of your colorectal health is an important step in preventing colorectal cancer and supporting overall digestive wellness. Regular screenings, especially starting at age 45, can detect precancerous polyps early — when they are most treatable.
Helpful tips for maintaining colorectal health include eating a high-fiber diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, staying physically active, limiting processed and red meats, avoiding to***co, and maintaining a healthy weight. If you notice symptoms like persistent abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, or blood in the stool, talk with your healthcare provider right away.
At Northern Maine Medical Center, we are committed to providing colorectal cancer screening and preventive care close to home for our rural community. Early detection saves lives — schedule your screening and take control of your health today.
