Have you ever performed a breast self-exam? 💗

Take a few minutes to try it out! Being aware of changes in your breasts can help you recognize when something needs to be checked. If something looks or feels off, contact your primary care provider as soon as possible instead of waiting for your next screening.

And if you’re 40 or older, don’t forget to schedule your yearly mammogram. Screening is available close to home. Call (515) 241-6111 and request your appointment in Grinnell.

A healthier you starts with a conversation.

Weight loss is about so much more than a number on the scale. It's about feeling better, improving your health and enjoying more of the moments that matter.

For many people, losing weight can help ease joint pain, improve breathing and respiratory symptoms, support better blood sugar control and lower A1C levels, and even contribute to improved mental well-being.

Whether you're managing a chronic condition like diabetes, asthma or COPD, or simply hoping to feel more comfortable and confident in your everyday life, you don't have to navigate your weight loss journey alone.

At UnityPoint Health – Grinnell, our experienced weight loss team is here to listen, understand your goals and help you explore options that work for you. Because a healthier future doesn't start with a number. It starts with a conversation.

Learn more about how our team can support you on your journey to better health by visiting https://uph.link/GrinnellBariatrics or by giving us a call at 641-236-4323.
