UPHS – Portage Invites Community to Learn About Breast Cancer During Dinner with Dr. Charles Goodwin

During October it isn’t hard to find a pink ribbon promoting breast cancer awareness. Next Tuesday, UPHS Portage will host the hospital’s Breast Cancer Awareness dinner. The event will include a presentation from UPHS Portage Oncologist Doctor Charles Goodwin. Who will share information about the importance of early detection, regular checkups, and screenings, as well as advances in treatment options for cancer.

“It’s really important to see our primary care physician on an annual basis. And that education typically comes from providers, such as family practice physicians or OBGYNs. On the importance of those monthly self-exams, and paying attention to our bodies.” Angela Luskin, Community Health Coordinator, UPHS – Portage
