Holiday gatherings
•
All in-person gatherings increase your exposure risk
AWH recommends gatherings of those who are already in your “pod”
Ideally if you are gathering with those that are not in your “pod”, everyone should quarantine prior to the gathering and possibly be tested for COVID
If you are getting together with people outside your “pod” remember to wear masks, wash your hands, and stay 6 feet apart, especially when eating and drinking

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month (information from @americancancersociety)
•
In 2020, an estimated 276,480 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women. This year, an estimated 42,170 women will die from breast cancer in the U.S.
Due to early detection and increased breast cancer awareness breast cancer deaths have decreased.
Mammograms (breast x-rays) are the best screening tool to find breast cancer early, when it may be easier to treat.
•
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in American women, except for skin cancers.
Breast cancer accounts for 15% of total cancer deaths and is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, following lung cancer. Approximately, 1 in 39 women (3%) will die from breast cancer.
•
There is no sure way to prevent breast cancer. But there are things you can do that might lower your risk including:
— Get to and stay at a healthy weight
— Be physically active
— Avoid or limit alcohol
— Women who choose to breastfeed for at least several months may also get an added benefit of reducing their breast cancer risk.
Many risk factors are beyond your control, such as being born female and getting older
•
Breast cancer can occur in men too. Men are more likely than women to be diagnosed with advanced stage breast cancer, which likely reflects delayed detection because of decreased awareness.

Pandemic Fatigue.
•
Remember to continue to protect your health and the health of those around you, especially as community spread of COVID-19 accelerates. Continue to wear a mask, practice social distancing and wash your hands frequently.
•
This article by @nytimes reviews the risks imposed by pandemic fatigue. Link in bio.
•
"a public weariness and a growing tendency to risk the dangers of the coronavirus, out of desire or necessity: With no end in sight, many people are flocking to bars, family parties, bowling alleys and sporting events much as they did before the virus hit, and others must return to school or work as communities seek to resuscitate economies. And in sharp contrast to the spring, the rituals of hope and unity that helped people endure the first surge of the virus have given way to exhaustion and frustration.
•
In parts of the world where the virus is resurging, the outbreaks and a rising sense of apathy are colliding, making for a dangerous combination. Health officials say the growing impatience is a new challenge as they try to slow the latest outbreaks, and it threatens to exacerbate what they fear is turning into a devastating autumn.”

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Mon

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month
•
"Tens of thousands of families across the United States are devastated each year by the death of their baby. But the grief of these families and the value of their babies’ lives are very rarely acknowledged. In 1988, US President Ronald Reagan declared October as a month to recognize the unique grief of bereaved parents in an effort to demonstrate support to the many families who have suffered such a tragic loss. Promoting awareness of pregnancy and infant loss not only increases the likelihood that grieving families will receive understanding and support, but also results in improved education and prevention efforts which may ultimately reduce the incidence of these tragedies.” @starlegacyfoundation
•
"Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month enables us to consider how, as individuals and communities, we can meet the needs of bereaved parents and family members and work to prevent causes of these problems. Early Pregnancy Loss. Stillbirth. Infant Loss. Sadly, these are deeply painful experiences that many families face daily, but they receive little attention. It may be hard to talk about, but the more open we are, the better we can serve bereaved parents. Early pregnancy loss is the most common type of loss. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), studies reveal that anywhere from 10-25% of all clinically recognized pregnancies will end in early pregnancy loss. When fetal death occurs after 20 weeks of pregnancy, it is called stillbirth. These tragic deaths occur in about 1 in 160 pregnancies.” @nationalshare

On October 15th (today), participate in the International Wave of Light by lighting a candle at 7 pm local time to honor all babies gone too soon. Keep your candle lit for at least one hour to create a continuous “wave of light” across all time zones covering the entire globe

"I've been working at the clinic for over 30 years. During that time I've enjoyed both working with the physicians and the staff. The atmosphere at the clinic is wonderful; I imagine that's what keeps me coming back each day. I've admired the doctors work ethics and their ability to put their patients first. Everyone is considerate and caring. They definitely have found a recipe for success!” Nancy

Today we meet our new ultrasonographer who will be working in our downtown office, Lina.
•
"Two years ago, I graduated and started working as a sonographer in a hospital way up in northern Minnesota! Once in a while, I had an opportunity to work clinic side in women’s health. The days I worked with OB patients were my favorite because I loved being able to support patients throughout their pregnancy. One of the best things about ultrasound in women’s health is that I am given the opportunity to develop relationships with patients, whether it’s celebrating their successes or supporting them through their challenges. This summer, I started pursuing opportunities that would help me make OB/GYN ultrasound my full time career. That being said, I moved to Minneapolis only a couple weeks ago and I am so excited to be given the opportunity to start working at AWH downtown! I trained last week in Edina with our dear lead sonographer, Leslie, and I felt so warmly welcomed and everyone I met was so great. I can’t wait to meet everyone else.” Lina

September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month
•
"The National Ovarian Cancer Coalition’s September Awareness campaign is focused on earlier awareness of symptoms, genetic predisposition, and the lack of an early detection test. With almost 80% of women diagnosed in advanced stages of ovarian cancer, when prognosis is poor, we know that more needs to be done to spread awareness of this horrible disease that will take the lives of more than 14,000 women this year.” @nocc_national
