Public health spotlight

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast cancer affects thousands of individuals and families each year, but knowing your risk, recognizing changes in your body and getting screened when recommended can make a difference.

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Connecticut Department of Public Health encourages residents to take an active role in their breast health. Talk with your healthcare provider about your personal risk factors, when to begin screening and what steps you can take to protect your health.

Need help accessing screening services? Connecticut's Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program provides free breast and cervical cancer screening and diagnostic services to eligible residents.

This October, take time to prioritize your health, encourage loved ones to do the same and help spread awareness about the importance of early detection.
