Mental Health Awareness Month
May is Mental Health Awareness Month
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Did you know that 1 in 5 adults are dealing with some mental illness, and suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S. The majority of those who die by suicide suffer from a mental health condition.
Mental health impacts how we think, feel, and act, and plays a crucial role in our ability to cope with life's challenges. It affects everyone, regardless of age, gender, race, or social status. However, we can all improve our mental health and live fulfilling lives with the right tools and resources.
Here are some tips to help improve your mental health:
1. Practice Self-Care:
Take care of your physical, emotional, and mental health needs by getting enough sleep, eating well, exercising, and engaging in activities you enjoy.
2. Stay Connected:
Social connections are essential for mental health. Stay in touch with family and friends, join a support group, or seek professional help if needed.
3. Manage Stress:
Stress is inevitable, but it is important to manage it. Try mindfulness meditation, therapy, or yoga to help reduce stress.
4. Seek Help:
If you are struggling with your mental health, do not hesitate to reach out for support.
This Mental Health Awareness Month, let’s all commit to taking care of our mental health and supporting one another in our journey to better well-being. Remember, it is okay to not be okay, and seeking help is a sign of strength.

March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about the importance of prevention and early detection. Colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in the United States, but when detected early, it is highly treatable—and often preventable. Most colorectal cancers begin as precancerous polyps in the colon or rectum. Routine screening allows these polyps to be identified and removed before they develop into cancer. Screening is recommended starting at age 45 for most adults, or earlier for those with certain risk factors or a family history. A colonoscopy remains the gold standard for screening. This safe and effective procedure allows a specialist to examine the colon and remove precancerous polyps during the same visit. If results are normal, screening is typically repeated every 10 years. If you need a referral, you can contact our office directly. For patients at average risk, Cologuard® is an FDA-approved, at-home screening option. This non-invasive test checks a stool sample for blood and abnormal DNA markers. If negative, it is repeated every three years. A positive result would require follow-up with a colonoscopy. Our team is happy to assist you with this option as well. At MedNOW, we are committed to making preventive care simple and accessible. Whether you choose a colonoscopy or an at-home test, taking this step is an important investment in your long-term health. If you have questions, would like to request a referral, or are ready to schedule your screening, please contact your local MedNOW Clinic or book an appointment through the link on our website. F or additional information, the CDC also provides helpful educational resources on colorectal cancer screening. Thank you for prioritizing your health and for trusting MedNOW with your care.
