Today marks the first day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, set aside to provide support to those affected by the disease and increase screening mammograms across the world. SIH recommends annual screening mammograms for women of average risk beginning at age 40. Kim's life was changed after her routine mammogram. Without it, her team at the SIH Breast Center wouldn't have caught her stage 2 breast cancer. After her diagnosis, Kim was able to receive a personalized treatment plan tailored specifically to her needs. Now she's back to being busy and is an example to her family of what's important. “The important thing about consistent screening mammograms is having something to compare results to,” says SIH Breast Center Medical Director Dr. Catherine O’Connor. “You're looking for small subtle changes that may not have been on past mammograms. Finding something early and getting it taken care of while it’s small, your outcomes are so much better.”

September is Sepsis Awareness Month! Sepsis, the body's overwhelming and toxic response to infection, kills over 350,000 adults in the U.S. every year. Through public education, we can raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of sepsis so people in our communities know when to seek emergency care. Together, we can help save lives and limbs from sepsis. https://lnkd.in/g_sVFVWK

“It’s very important to go where the people you serve are,” Arnold said. “It’s good to meet them where they are, to see what some of the obstacles are, see what some of the barriers, and see what we can do to make it easier for them to come see us.” The first of two community events featuring Don Arnold, II an endourologist and chief of surgery at SIH, took place on Aug. 19. The goal is to reach into the community and talk about men’s health. Media Coverage from The Southern Illinoisan is here: https://lnkd.in/gyXHEk-G #menshealth #community #sih #healthcare
