We are grateful to the Butler Bears for supporting the BCMH Cares Mammogram Fund through their Go Pink Night on Monday, October 5. Thanks to the generosity of event sponsors, the Bears presented BCMH with an incredible $800 donation to support breast cancer screenings for women in our community.

Chris Pope, BCMH Imaging Services Director, accepted the donation on behalf of BCMH. The BCMH Cares Mammogram Fund provides free screening mammograms and follow-up imaging for uninsured and underinsured women, helping remove financial barriers to this important care.

Every dollar makes a difference-because cost should never stand in the way of early detection.

đź’— THANK YOU, Butler Bears, for going pink with a purpose and helping make lifesaving breast cancer screenings more accessible right here at home!

đź’Š There may be a new option for lowering cholesterol.

A new daily cholesterol pill is adding another option to the conversation about managing high cholesterol—but how does it compare with statins, and who might benefit?

❤️ If you take cholesterol medication or are working to lower your numbers, it’s worth learning about the different treatment options available.

🧩 Distracted, forgetful, always on the go-or could it be something more?

All kids have moments when they don’t listen, can’t sit still or forget what they were supposed to be doing. But when certain behaviors happen again and again-and begin affecting life at home or school-it may be worth a closer look.
