October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time dedicated to spreading knowledge about breast cancer, supporting those affected and honoring survivors who have bravely fought the disease. At MHCS, we recognize the importance of standing together in the fight against breast cancer and highlighting the strength and resilience of survivors.

Why Breast Cancer Awareness Matters

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women worldwide, with millions diagnosed each year. Early detection through regular screenings is crucial for effective treatment. Education about the risks, symptoms and importance of mammograms can save lives. That’s why Breast Cancer Awareness Month is such an essential time—it empowers individuals to take action, encourages others to get screened and provides support for those currently battling the disease.

Honoring Survivors: Submit a Name to Our Website

Survivors of breast cancer are living proof of the power of hope, resilience, and medical advancements. They inspire others by sharing their stories and giving strength to those who are currently undergoing treatment. This year, we are inviting our community to honor these survivors by submitting their names for a display outside of the hospital.
