Lincoln Memorial Hospital

Community Action Partnership

City of Lincoln governance

The Friday, October 21st pink pictures include three amazing groups of people, starting with the staff at Lincoln Memorial Hospital. The next photo is staff from the Community Action Partnership of Central Illinois, and the third picture is the Lincoln City Council department heads and elected officials.

All three of these groups are dedicated to looking out for the well-being of others. The hospital, through health care.  CAPCIL, is working to give at-risk families a 'hand up" and out of poverty, and the Lincoln governance is working to assure the quality of life for all Lincoln residents.

All of these folks would want you to know that National Mammogram Day is today. It is a day set aside to raise awareness for the value of taking care of your health and maintaining your quality of life by having your annual mammograms and knowing that you are healthy.

Mammograms and self-exams are critical to early detection, and early detection is the key to increased survival rates. Speak with your doctor today about scheduling your exam.
