Media, PA – October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and members of the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office joined forces with the Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition to promote early detection and education efforts this week.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, deputies visited the Coalition’s awareness table at the Government Center to show their support for ongoing efforts that encourage timely screenings and health education across the region. Officials emphasized that early detection saves lives and urged residents to talk with their healthcare providers about scheduling mammograms or appropriate tests.
The PA Breast Cancer Coalition recommends that women aged 40 and older receive a mammogram every year—or as otherwise directed by their physicians. Women with a family history or other risk factors may need to begin screening earlier. The post also reminded the public that breast cancer can affect men, and any lumps or changes should be evaluated promptly.
The Sheriff’s Office thanked the Coalition for its continued dedication to advocacy, education, and support for Pennsylvanians impacted by breast cancer.
