This Mother’s Day, Make Time for YOU

April 23, 2025

You do a lot. Maybe you’re the one your friends call for advice. Maybe you’re helping a parent. Or showing up for your children, coworkers, neighbors and community — always making space for others.

But when was the last time you made space for yourself?

This Mother’s Day, we invite every woman — whether you’re a mom, daughter, aunt or friend — to prioritize your health. Taking care of your health means showing up for yourself. Start by scheduling a mammogram for peace of mind and your future.

Why Mammograms Matter

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers women face. Detecting it early through a mammogram gives you more options and a better chance of beating it. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force says mammograms are helpful for women between 40 and 74.

What’s Getting in the Way?

You’re not imagining it — taking care of yourself does feel hard. Women often delay or skip mammograms for reasons that are very real:

  • Busy schedules: Juggling work, family and other responsibilities can make it hard to find time.
  • Fear or anxiety: Concerns about the procedure or potential results can feel daunting.
  • Misconceptions: Believing that without symptoms, there’s no need for screening.​

Here’s the thing — breast cancer doesn’t wait for symptoms. You might feel fine, but breast cancer can be silent. A mammogram today could change everything for your tomorrow.

Do It for You — and the Women You Love

Maybe it’s not just you. Maybe it’s your mom who keeps putting it off. Your sister who always says she’s “too busy.” Your best friend who hasn’t scheduled hers yet.

Let’s look out for each other. Talk about it. Text someone you love and say: I scheduled mine — let’s go together.
