January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month! Let's talk about how human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines can help PREVENT cancer. Cervical cancer was once the leading cause of cancer death for women in the United States. Now, thanks to cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccination, it is easier to prevent the disease or catch it early when it's most treatable. Call us today to learn more: 718-466-8244.

Today, we solemnly observe Transgender Day of Reme

Today, we solemnly observe Transgender Day of Remembrance, an annual day of acknowledgement and mourning for those members of the Trans community who have lost their lives to acts of transphobic violence.

Transgender women and people of color are most heavily impacted. More than 80% of murders since 2013 have been committed against transgender women and, of those, 80% are Black. Unfortunately, youth of trans experience are the recipients of these violent attacks as well.

Today, let us remember those who we have lost, and tomorrow, let us work together to ensure we create a future where days like today are no longer necessary.

November is COPD Awareness Month! Chronic obstruct

November is COPD Awareness Month! Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, refers to a group of diseases that cause airflow blockage and breathing-related problems. It includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. COPD makes breathing difficult for the 16 million Americans who have this disease. Millions more people suffer from COPD, but have not been diagnosed and are not being treated. Although there is no cure for COPD, it can be treated. Speak to our Health Services team to learn more.
