A simple pink ribbon is the international symbol of breast cancer awareness
At Boddington Medical Centre, we’re proud to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October.
While we may be a small regional community without local screening services, that won’t stop us from partnering with you to taking action to raise awareness, promote early detection, and stand by those affected by breast cancer.
💬 What You Can Do
Learning to do a breast self-check is one of the most important things you can do.
Learn how to perform a breast self-check – your doctor can guide you

🧠 Why It Matters
Early detection saves lives – and that starts with awareness.
Even without local screening services, our community can still take powerful steps toward early detection and prevention. Breast cancer found early is more treatable. Let’s stay informed, check in with ourselves and each other, and make breast health a regular conversation.
