Today marks Women’s Check-Up Day, a crucial reminder of the significance of annual health assessments for women of all ages. ✨🌸 Beyond just a routine visit, these check-ups serve as a cornerstone for proactive healthcare, allowing for early detection of potential health issues and the implication of preventative measures. From cervical screenings to breast exams, these appointments offer a comprehensive overview of women’s health, encompassing both physical + emotional well-being. Regular check-ups not only empower women to take control of their health, but also foster a deeper understanding of their bodies, ensuring they receive the necessary care + support they deserve. Let’s embrace this day as an opportunity to prioritize self-care and advocate for the importance of women’s health maintenance throughout the year! 💪🩷 . . . #alabamaoncology #alabamadoctors #oncologyalabama #americancancer #americancancersociety #birminghamalabama #cancercare #oncologyclinic #cancertreatment #cancersupport #cancerwellness #cancerscreening #fightagainstcancer #cancersurvivor #cancerprevention #cancerawareness #healingjourney #qualityoflife #patientcare #hopefulhealing #cancerfree #comprehensivecare #cancertherapy #healthyliving #medicalexcellence #supportivecare #oncologyservices #wellnesscenter #cancerresearch

The Gift of Me: Self Care to Provide Better Care I have always wanted to work on 2 groups: Corporate & Caregivers Corporate side has been ongoing and I recently started "Learn + Pamper" sessions (share more in upcoming posts). One big reason of why I advocate what I do "TCM Self-Care" is from my caregiving experience of taking care of my late father who passed away due to cancer. I have always believed that I have to be good to provide better care. I made sure I am well :) Looking forward to collaborate with Bernadette Chua Sau-Yin in this series of 3 sessions (online 90 mins each) specially curated for CAREGIVERS. Here's a peek into what will be covered. Will share more in coming weeks :) Week 1: The Gift of Me as a Caregiver Week 2: Recharging & Rejuvenating Week 3: Self-Awareness & Self-Care for Better Care For Caregivers By Caregivers #caregiver #selfcare

ARDX recognizes that health equity and social determinants of health (SDOH) play a crucial role in the fight against breast cancer. Barriers such as access to care, education, and income disparities often lead to delayed diagnoses and unequal treatment outcomes for those in underserved communities. ARDX is committed to advancing health equity by addressing these disparities and ensuring that everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances, has the opportunity for early detection and high-quality care. Together, let’s raise awareness and work towards a future where everyone has an equal chance to survive and thrive.    www.ardx.net #BreastCancerAwareness #HealthEquity #SDOH #ARDX #EndTheDisparities #FightBreastCancer

Promising research, a growing respect for the patient voice and innovative ways of using technology to support patients might be adding up to a new reality of Alzheimer’s and other dementias being experienced as chronic diseases like some cancers are now considered to be. We’re going to learn about that trend and other positive developments in the space on this special episode of Raise the Line with the leaders of CaringKind, The Heart of Alzheimer's Caregiving - one of the nation’s premier organizations focused on Alzheimer’s and dementia caregiving - who took time out from preparing for its annual gala on June 3 for an in-depth discussion of what’s new, what’s coming and what’s most important for the individuals and families affected by dementia. One welcome theme is that the voices of those with lived experience are being given more weight. “We're going to see more grassroots-driven change where people living with dementia are not just participants in research, but they are partners in research, and they’re actually pushing policy change," says Chief Innovation Officer Stephani Shivers. Tune in as host Michael Carrese explores advancements in diagnostics and research with CaringKind adviser Dr. Anne K. Kenny; gets briefed on a new Medicare pilot program from Stephani; and learns about the “Forget-Me-Not” gala -- which includes dancing robots -- from CEO Eleonora Tornatore-Mikesh. “For the gala, we're really excited about weaving in the work that we're diving into in the next couple of years to ‘connect to living’ -- to culture and music, people, science and services. Being able to utilize technology to bring joy and socialization back to your life is part of that.”  This is a revealing look at the current and future state of caregiving for diseases that are affecting a rapidly growing number of Americans and their families.    Mentioned in this episode: https://lnkd.in/eV84TNc   Listen to today’s episode of Raise the Line: https://lnkd.in/gX92DNwn #raisetheline
