SPRING 2023

WOMEN’S HEALTH…WHAT’S NEW & WHAT’S NEXT?

You may have seen the recent announcements and slogans from our best Breast Health public awareness associations…Susan B. Komen Foundation, American Cancer Society, Dense Breast Information, the Avon Society and others such as:

Stand Up to Cancer Intercept Cancer…the Critical Catch There is Strength in Knowing

Early Detection is Your Best Protection We are Making Breast Cancer History

And Guess What?

THEY ARE ALL VERY TRUE! By now you know that I have designed my entire practice around these concepts. Most women’s cancers can be found in the early pre-cancer or stage I condition whereby they are quite curable with minimal effort, time, and cost.

How do we do that? Through RISK MANAGEMENT and EARLY DETECTION.

How do we find these conditions EARLY???…WE LOOK for them proactively with sophisticated screening methods. You may have heard from various sources that you don’t need pelvic exams, pap testing, breast exams, or mammograms after a certain age. This is simply NOT true.

The risks for women’s cancers increase till age 75 then stay at that level with no decline. No one would stop taking care of their home, garden, auto, or savings accounts just because they reach a certain age!

Women’s healthcare planning is done best by considering many factors:

Age Personal History Family History Existing Conditions Lifestyle

Risk Factors Health Goals Life Expectancy

Certainly, no one size fits all. Along with pap testing, ULTRASOUND is THE miracle technology for monitoring and diagnosing women’s precancers and cancers early. I encourage you to prioritize your health as we move into a new and exciting season of healthy opportunities. The reasons are here, the science is here and our staff are here to accommodate your needs with this extra focus…One that truly makes a difference. Feel free to call with questions, concerns or to schedule an appointment. (707) 257-4317.

To Your Health!
