Kids are most at risk right as they step on and off the bus. Give them the time and space to do it safely. 🚌 Know what each light means 👇 and check your state's stop-arm laws.

Doing a breast self-exam at home helps you detect breast changes so you can discuss them with a healthcare provider. Regular breast self-exams can help you maintain breast health and know what’s normal for you. Most lumps and abnormalities aren’t cancer, but you should still share any changes with a provider.

Many people worry that finding a breast lump means cancer. But breast lumps are also signs of noncancerous breast conditions. Sometimes, the only sign of breast cancer is a suspicious finding on a screening mammogram. This is why routine mammograms are extremely important for all women. There isn’t just one sign or symptom of breast cancer. This is why it’s important to see a healthcare provider if you notice a change in the look or feel of your breast or nipple.

The common cold is an infection of your nose, sinuses, throat and windpipe. Colds spread easily, especially within homes, classrooms and workplaces. More than 200 different viruses can cause colds. There’s no cure for a common cold, but it usually goes away within a week to 10 days. If you don’t feel better in 10 days, see a healthcare provider.

Cooler autumn nights and warm morning sun mean one thing: dense fall fog. 🌫️🍂 As temperature drops create sudden thick fog patches during your morning commute, visibility can drop without warning. Don't let fall fog catch you off guard — keep these driving tips in mind. ⤵️

This age group is often found to be using the wrong type of restraint for their age and size. 🧒❌ Parents — remind yourselves that moving your child into a booster seat or seat belt too soon can increase the risk or injury or death. ⚠️
