🚨 Be Prepared. Save a Life. 🚨

Opioid overdoses can happen anywhere — even at work. That’s why we’re encouraging all businesses to keep a naloxone kit on hand as part of their emergency response plan.

đź’™ November is National Family Caregivers Month đź’™

Access Health proudly honors the caregivers in our communities—those who give their time, energy, and love to support family, friends, and neighbors in need. Your dedication is the backbone of compassionate care.

🗣️ “Caregiving often calls us to lean into love we didn’t know possible.” — Tia Walker, The Inspired Caregiver

This year, we're joining forces with Caregiver Action Network Network in helping our nation's family caregivers —connecting caregivers to support, tools, and community. Visit NFCmonth.org to learn more!

To every caregiver: we see you, we appreciate you, and we support you. Thank you for all that you do.

Every woman deserves access to preventive care that could save her life. That’s why community health centers can connect you with affordable, high-quality breast cancer screening services.

If you’re unsure about when to get screened or what your risk is, don’t wait. Make an appointment with your provider to have that conversation.

Did you know?

🔸 85% of women diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history.
🔸 Risk increases with age, especially after 50.
🔸 Lifestyle factors like obesity, alcohol use, and inactivity can raise risk.

Access Health encourages everyone to learn their personal risk and take preventive steps.

Today is National Mammography Day! Mammograms can detect breast cancer up to 2 years before you or your provider can feel a lump. That early detection can make all the difference.

If you’re 40 or older, or have a family history of breast cancer, it’s time to talk with your provider about your screening options.

We’re here to help. Call today to schedule an appointment or to find out if a mammogram is right for you.

1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. It’s a startling statistic—but it doesn’t have to be a death sentence. When breast cancer is found early, the 5-year survival rate is over 90%.

That’s why routine breast cancer screenings, like mammograms, are essential.

If you’re 40 or older—or younger with a higher risk—it’s time to speak to your provider about screening.

Your local health center is a trusted place to get the information and care you need. Call your local Access Health today to ask questions or schedule a mammogram.
