October’s about more than refilling a prescription. It’s also:
National Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Call your local VA medical center to schedule a mammogram today.
National Dental Hygiene Month
Don’t forget your teeth! Healthy teeth and gums help keep infections at bay.
National Physical Therapy Month
The exercises your trained physical therapist has designed for you really work—if you do them.
Lung Month
If you haven’t yet quit smoking, do it now!
