Advocate Health Supports Breast Health Awareness

Breast cancer touches many lives – either as a patient, family member, friend or co-worker. It knows no boundaries with respect to age, gender, race or socioeconomic status. During National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, we are highlighting important stages of the breast health journey – prevention, support and survivorship.

Prevention

Reduce Your Risk 

Research shows that lifestyle changes can lower the chances of getting breast cancer. At least 18% of all cancers and about 16% of cancer deaths in the U.S. are related to excess body weight, physical inactivity, tobacco use, alcohol consumption and/or poor nutrition. 

*Data provided by the American Cancer Society. 

Our well-being programs can help you reduce your risk. 


Get Screened

  • All teammates should talk to their doctor about whether a mammogram is appropriate. 
  • Participating breast health centers offer convenient locations, including on-site mobile mammography units, for Atrium Health teammates to receive their mammogram. 
  • As part of your Health Plan, your mammogram (including 3D mammograms) and most other prevention screenings are covered at 100 percent. For details, visit totalrewards.org > Your Health & Well-being > Medical

Teammate Spotlight


Always involved in sports and activities, Barbara felt tired, weak and not herself while undergoing treatment after being diagnosed with breast cancer from a routine mammogram. She was able to get back to herself with the help of Team Phoenix, a 14-week triathlon training program through Advocate Health Care. She reminds teammates that whatever you’re going through, there is a program to help, and you’d be surprised if you get out there and give something new a try. She stresses for teammates to not miss a year of wellness checks, annual exams or mammograms because there’s help and support available. 

Barbara Cortes, PT, Director, Rehabilitation Services, Aurora Sinai Medical Center
