Breast cancer awareness starts with action.

Make time for your recommended screenings, learn what’s normal for your body, and do regular self-checks. If you notice a change, talk with a healthcare provider.

Remind the women in your life to schedule their screenings, too. A text, a call, or a simple reminder could make a difference.

OhioMBE and OWCC encourage every woman to stay informed, get checked, and support one another.
