October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and at N Good Health, we want to make sure you have the best resources available to stay up to date on your cancer prevention screenings. Women age 40 and older should consider an annual mammogram in addition to monthly self-exams and an annual breast exam from a health care provider. If you’re due for a mammogram, consider the merits of going to a nationally accredited program.
