💙 Your Health Matters 💙

Healthy aging isn't about being perfect—it's about making small choices every day that support your health, protect your future, and help you enjoy the moments that matter most.

☀️ Protect your skin with good sun safety habits.
🚶 Stay active and keep your body moving.
🥗 Fuel your body with healthy foods.
❤️ Remember your "why."

Your "why" is the reason you choose to take care of yourself. Maybe it's your family, your children or grandchildren, traveling, staying active, reaching retirement, or simply feeling your best every day.

When you know your "why," healthy choices become a little easier.
💬 If you feel comfortable sharing, tell us in the comments: What is your "why" for staying healthy?

We'd love to hear what motivates and inspires you. Together, we can encourage one another to live healthier, happier lives.

Thank you, Holly, for sharing your story and for being an inspiration to our UFCW Local 655 family.

"Turning 40 felt like a milestone birthday. One that my primary care doctor said came with a new item on my health checklist: my first mammogram. Honestly, I almost put it off, I’m a busy mom with 2 young kids, both heavily involved in activities, a husband, 3 pets, and a full-time job. I felt perfectly healthy, and didn't have any lumps or other symptoms. It just felt like another routine check-up, something preventative but not urgent.
I went in for the screening, expecting it to be uneventful. So, when the call came asking me to come back for more tests, I was surprised, but still not overly worried. Even when they scheduled a biopsy, a small part of me thought it was just precautionary.
But then I got another call and the words "You have breast cancer" was surreal. It felt like the world tilted. I was 40, healthy, and active.
My diagnosis was Stage 1 and because it was found so early, before it had a chance to spread, my treatment path was much less aggressive than it could have been. I needed surgery and radiation and will need medication for the next 5 years for prevention of recurrence, but I avoided chemotherapy. More importantly, my prognosis is excellent, and I get to continue to enjoy my busy life with my family.
That preventive screening, the one I thought about putting off, likely saved my life or at least saved me from a much more difficult battle. It wasn't family history or a lump that led to my diagnosis; it was simply following the screening guidelines for my age.
I share my story not to scare anyone, but to empower you. Don't wait for symptoms. Don't assume it can't happen to you because you don't have a family history. Talk to your doctor about when you should start screening mammograms. Taking that proactive step, even when you feel fine, can make all the difference. Early detection turned a potentially devastating diagnosis into a manageable challenge for me. Please, don't delay your screening."
