October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October is National Breast Cancer Month. It is time dedicated annually to educate everyone about breast cancer. No matter who you are or where you live, breast cancer may touch your life. It’s necessary to understand the warning signs of breast cancer, your risk and what’s normal for you, so if there are any changes in your breasts, you can act.
For more information, visit: Susan G. Komen and “Men Can Get Breast Cancer Too”

Mental Health
World Mental Health Day
This year’s theme highlights ‘Mental Health in the Workplace’ in an effort to remind all to be cognizant that not all disabilities are visible, physical or permanent and to debunk the stigma associated with a mental health diagnosis.

5 Nutritious Foods to Try This Fall!
These classic fall foods will help strengthen your immune system and fight off chronic disease. As we move into the cooler months, we are often drawn to familiar, seasonal flavors and comforting, warmer meals. At the same time, we are also starting to think about maintaining our health through the cold and flu season, this year perhaps more than ever. The good news is that many of the foods we already associate with fall also pack some serious health benefits.
