October is breast cancer awareness month. Here are some things to look out for.

Know the most common symptoms of breast cancer:
• Hard knots or thickening
• Swelling, warmth, redness, or darkening
• Change in size or shape
• Ni**le discharge that starts suddenly
• New pain that doesn’t go away
• Pulling in of the ni**le or other parts of the breast
• Itchy, scaly sore or rash on the ni**le

Although these symptoms can be caused by things other than breast cancer, it is important to have them checked out by your doctor.

October is Pregnancy Loss and Infant Death Awareness Month.

Over1,000 Hoosier families endure the loss of a child to stillbirth or infant death each year, leaving parents and loved ones grieving an unimaginable loss. While not all stillbirths can be prevented, research shows that awareness, education, and supportive care can help reduce risks and improve outcomes for families.

National Sudden Cardiac Arrest Month

One of our achievements at Health First Kosciusko is to provide safety measures like AEDs to put in our schools. The idea is to never need them, however, if we do need them, they are ready and available. We have been placing AED and AED equipment in the schools of Kosciusko County for over a year now. In August, we supplied some schools with Zoll pads, cabinets, and wall signs. Many people have chronic diseases, therefore, we never know when a child or adult may go into cardiac arrest. Our schools are prepared for this and other emergencies with current medical training and supplies. Thanks to Health First Indiana funding, we were able to supply these life saving measures.
