Be Your Own Health Advocate

This Women’s Health Month, be your own health advocate. Start by taking simple steps to maintain your health, which includes staying current on important health screenings like your annual mammogram.

“Part of taking care of yourself first is being your own health advocate.”

The top three ways to take care of yourself:

• Take care of yourself first. You can’t take care of others if you’re not maintaining your health, too.
• Schedule your screening mammogram. Annual mammograms are critical to identify breast cancer early. And early detection means more treatment options and ultimately, better outcomes.
• Move your body. Any kind of regular movement from walking to lifting weights is important for maintaining your mental and physical health.

Being your own health advocate means being an active participant in your own care. Start today by scheduling your mammogram.
