WOMEN'S HEALTH WEEK

Ladies, it's time to schedule your screening and appointments to include:
- mammogram/ MRI for breast cancer
- PAP smear for cervical cancer
- stool check for blood (fecal occult blood test, FOBT) for colorectal cancer
- cardiology doctor for cardiovascular prevention
(get EKG, ECHO, and thallium stress test if indicated)
- bone density scan to check for osteoporsis
- counseling for smoking cessation, alcohol/drug dependence, and domestic violence
- evaluation for depression and other mental disorders if necessary.
This is in additon to a complete physical exam, and routine blood tests.

Get in 5 to 10 minutes of exercise a day at least and eat healthy! Laugh a lot and love a lot!
