October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month!

Domestic violence affects so many and even those in our own county. We must all come together to talk about domestic violence and the effects it has on children and families suffering. 

This is a great website to gain more information on domestic violence. https://www.thehotline.org/

If you or someone you know are a victim of domestic violence, reach out! Plant the seeds for them to get help and always be there to listen. 

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

Breast Cancer Screening

It is important every year to have a well woman exam. This exam consists of different things depending on your age and history. One important factor is getting your mammogram if you are 40 or older! It is also important to get pap smears if needed, get screened for sexually transmitted infections, and learn how to check your breasts monthly to detect changes. The earlier you detect breast cancer, the better chance of survival! Come see us for all of your well woman needs!! Chandra Payne is with us on Tuesdays to provide those exams!

We should think about our breast health year-round, but let's use October as a reminder of how important it is. Our community has seen terrible heartache from the effects of breast cancer, we have also seen great warrior women stand tall and come through! What is the key? Early detection!


Well woman exams should begin with puberty. Teach them young how to best protect themselves against cervical and breast cancer. Vaginal exams begin when a woman becomes sexually active and pap smears begin when a woman turns 21. Beginning these well woman exams upon puberty gives the opportunity for education and information on how to best protect their bodies.
