October: Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Know the Signs, Reduce the Risk
​
This October, Court Street Medical Practice is proud to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a crucial time dedicated to raising awareness, promoting early detection, and encouraging conversations about breast health. Breast cancer affects millions of people worldwide, but early detection can save lives.
​
Here’s what you can do this month:
-
Know the signs: Be familiar with the symptoms and changes in your breasts to look out for.
-
Regular screenings: Talk to your GP about mammograms and self-examinations. Early detection is key.
-
Support & resources: We’re here to offer guidance, answer questions, and provide access to support groups and local resources.
​
Join us in raising awareness this October—let's work together to support those affected and reduce the risk of breast cancer in our community!
