A Better REGION 8

Pink for Life

This year 1,830 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in Arkansas, 410 will die. When I was 9 years old I lost my grandmother to this horrible disease. I wish that she known back then what we know now.

You see, early detection is the best defense.  Now is the best time.  Even if you feel healthy. Getting checked

regularly can put you mind at ease.  And finding cancer early could save your life.

 

KAIT and St. Bernards have partnered together to increase breast cancer awareness in Region 8 with a campaign called Pink For Life.

On the 8th of every month, KAIT and St. Bernards Healthcare will send you an email reminder to do your self exam and provide you with details of events in the area supporting breast cancer awareness, and information about other women's health issues.

by doing so you can make a difference in your life, your loved ones lives,  and we can make this A Better Region 8

Lend a helping hand

The end of Summer is upon us. Now Ryan Vaughn would probably argue and say that we have about a month until Fall arrives, but for all intents and purposes, another summer has come and gone. Labor day is a couple of weeks away, farmers are harvesting rice crops, and school has started back for most every Region 8 student. Growing up I always hated to see school start back every August. Then again, I wasn't the best student to ever crack a book either. A lot of things have changed since I was in school. But some have stayed the same. There are still school aged kids here in Region 8 that need a helping hand. For one reason or another they aren't getting the support and help that they need to be successful in school and in life. Whether it is being a tutor, a mentor, or an anonymous supporter, I challenge each and every one of you out there to get involved in a young person’s life. Your efforts will reap great rewards, give you much happiness and make this a better Region 8.
