October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Breast cancer impacts all of us – our families, our friends, our coworkers, and ourselves. One in eight women are diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. Here in Alaska, an estimated 520 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023 alone (according to the American Cancer Society.) We know early detection saves lives. For KBFPC clients, that includes annual exams, breast cancer screenings and mammogram referrals, genetic testing, diagnostic services, and reliable up-to-date information – all at low- or no-cost for clients who qualify. As a trusted community healthcare partner, and with your help, KBFPC provides evidence-based, empowering reproductive health care regardless of a person’s insurance status or ability to pay.
Each October, our Board of Directors leads a community Breast Cancer Awareness and fundraising campaign, requesting donations from local businesses and KBFPC supporters to display a sponsored pink flag on their building during the month. The funds raised help our not-for-profit clinic continue providing affordable, exceptional sexual and reproductive health care on the Kenai Peninsula.
Learn more about breast health at these upcoming October events.
Early detection saves lives.
The pink flags seen around the Homer area in October are a reminder of the importance of breast cancer prevention and early detection, and encouragement to schedule your Annual Wellness Visit and ask your provider if you’re up to date on recommended cancer screenings. Call KBFPC at 907-235-3436 to schedule.
