💕EARLY DETECTION SAVES LIVES!💕

Ladies, when was your last mammogram?

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and it’s time to prioritize YOU! Between busy schedules, careers, families, and caring for everyone else, don’t forget to take care of YOU!

💕 1 in 8 women will develop invasive breast cancer in her lifetime. But when breast cancer is detected early, the 5-year relative survival rate is approximately 99% for localized disease.

✨ Schedule your mammogram.
✨ Know your family history.
✨ Talk with your healthcare provider about your risk.
✨ Encourage the women you love to do the same.

📣 Don’t wait for symptoms. Don’t put it off until next month. MAKE THE APPOINTMENT TODAY!

Yesterday, I had the privilege of serving as a panelist at the Arkansas Black Mayors’ Leadership Summit for the discussion, “Food As Medicine.”

The conversation was both timely and necessary. Arkansas continues to face a significant food insecurity crisis, with 19.4% of households experiencing food insecurity and approximately 1 in 4 Arkansas children facing food insecurity. These numbers represent more than statistics—they represent our patients, our families, and our communities.

As physician leaders, we must recognize that access to nutritious food is not separate from healthcare—it IS healthcare. Addressing food insecurity requires intentional collaboration across healthcare, public health, local government, and community organizations.

I was honored to share the panel with such an esteemed group of leaders committed to advancing solutions that improve health and strengthen communities.

I look forward to future opportunities for the Arkansas Medical, Dental & Pharmaceutical Association (AMDPA) to collaborate with these leaders and partners to advance health equity and make Food Is Medicine more than a conversation—it must become a strategy for action.

Thank you to the Arkansas Minority Health Commission for the invitation.

STRONG DOESN’T MEAN SILENT.

September is National Suicide Prevention Month—a time to remember those we’ve lost, check on the people we love, and create spaces where asking for help is met with compassion, not judgment.

Checking on our strong friends matters.
Making mental health conversations normal matters.
Access to culturally responsive care matters.
And knowing when—and where—to get help matters.

Let’s check on our strong friends. Let’s challenge the stigma. Let’s make asking for help a sign of strength—not weakness.

If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

According to the CDC, in our community, suicide rates have increased in recent years with the highest increase in our youth and young adult population. This is unacceptable.

Awareness is important. Action saves lives.

Let’s move beyond awareness.
Let’s choose connection. Let’s choose compassion. Let’s choose to intervene. Let’s choose to overcome. 🖤

Today we recognize World Autism Awareness Day — a time to celebrate neurodiversity, promote understanding, and support inclusion for individuals on the autism spectrum. 💙

Let’s move beyond awareness and take action: listen, learn, advocate, and create spaces where everyone feels valued and accepted.

Different, not less. Every voice matters.

There is no right or wrong way to grieve, and there is no set timeline for it. As we navigate this journey, let’s remember and implement strategies that help us grieve in a healthy way. In review, allowing grief helps us better prepare for and manage the moments when sorrow hits. Allowing others to be there for us ensures our journey does not feel so lonely. Removing those who hinder our grief allows us to continue in the healthiest way possible. Allowing joy is necessary to honor our journey and the memory of our loved ones! #Healthygrief #Grief #mentalhealthmatters #griefjourney #griefandloss by @chatwithdrshaun

Confucius said, “Joy is in everything, we just have to learn to extract it.” Even in the midst of grief, there can still be moments of joy, and we must allow ourselves to experience them. Our loved ones would want us to be happy and thriving. Let’s honor them by allowing joy to comfort us along our journey. #Healthygrief #Grief #mentalhealthmatters #griefjourney #griefandloss by @chatwithdrshaun

The grief journey is often navigated with the help of others; however, you may also encounter people who may hinder your progress. It is important to be able to discern the difference between those who support your journey and those who may impede it, so you can navigate your experience in the healthiest possible way. #Healthygrief #Grief #mentalhealthmatters #griefjourney #griefandloss by @chatwithdrshaun

Grief can be very isolating. Allowing others to be there for you is a healthy way to navigate your journey. Although this journey is yours, please remember that you do not have to go through it alone. #Healthygrief #Grief #mentalhealthmatters #griefjourney #griefandloss by @chatwithdrshaun
