Breast Cancer Awareness Month🎀

A mammogram is more than a screening. It’s an important step in your self-care. 💕

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Wyckoff Heights Medical Center joins our community in raising awareness, honoring survivors, remembering those we have lost, and supporting everyone whose life has been touched by breast cancer.

Taking care of your breast health starts with being informed and proactive. Regular mammograms can help detect breast cancer early, sometimes before a lump can be felt or other symptoms appear. When breast cancer is found at an earlier stage, it may be easier to treat.

Breast cancer screening is an important part of routine health care. While screening cannot prevent breast cancer, mammograms can help identify changes in the breast before symptoms develop, allowing patients and their healthcare providers to take the appropriate next steps as early as possible.

This October, let Breast Cancer Awareness Month be your reminder to prioritize your health. Talk with your healthcare provider about your personal risk factors and the breast cancer screening schedule that is right for you.

And don’t forget to encourage the people you love to prioritize their breast health, too. A simple reminder to a mother, sister, daughter, friend, or loved one could encourage them to schedule an important screening.

💗 Your health matters. Take the next step and schedule your mammogram today.

📅 Call (718) 963-7272 to schedule your appointment at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center.

Together, we can raise awareness, encourage early detection, and empower our community to take an active role in their breast health. 🎀

As we mark the anniversary of September 11, we pause to remember the lives lost and honor the courage, resilience, and unity that emerged from that tragic day. As a Brooklyn hospital, we recognize the lasting impact 9/11 had on our city, our communities, and so many families. We stand in remembrance and gratitude for all those who served and sacrificed, and we reaffirm our commitment to caring for our neighbors with compassion and dedication every day. We would like to acknowledge the bravery and selflessness of so many first responders. May the dedication of first responders remind all of you on this very difficult day, that even in times of darkness and tragedy there is so much good in the world.

WHMC WIC Program Celebrates World Breastfeeding Week 2026

On Wednesday, August 5th, the WHMC WIC Program proudly celebrated its Annual Breastfeeding Event in honor of World Breastfeeding Week. This year's theme, "Strengthen What Works," highlighted the importance of supporting families and recognizing the many ways parents nourish and care for their children.

The event brought together WIC participants, families, community members, and staff for a day of education, engagement, and celebration. Whether families are breastfeeding, formula feeding, combination feeding, or supporting a loved one on their infant feeding journey, the WHMC WIC Program recognizes and celebrates their commitment to giving children the healthiest possible start in life.

Participants had the opportunity to connect with WIC staff, learn about available resources and services, and enjoy a variety of WIC-approved foods grown locally in the WIC Community Garden. Attendees were also invited to tour the community garden, where they explored a vibrant space filled with fresh herbs, fruits, and vegetables cultivated to promote healthy eating and wellness within the community.

The success of this event was further strengthened by the participation of several valued community partners. Representatives from the WHMC PICHC Program, Grand Street Settlement, New Life Child Development Center, and EmblemHealth were in attendance to share information about their programs and services.

The WHMC WIC Program is grateful to all participants, staff, and community partners who helped make this year's World Breastfeeding Week celebration a meaningful and successful event. Together, we continue to strengthen what works by supporting healthy families, fostering community connections, and empowering parents every step of the way.
