Breast cancer is one of the most serious issues facing the female employees today. It is so important that October has been designated National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Throughout the country special events will take place to call awareness to this killer of women.
Beaumont Health System will host two community health fairs as Oakland County observes National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Attendees of the seventh annual Beaumont Breast Health Fairs can learn about breast cancer prevention, treatment, support, research trials and survivorship programs.
