A woman’s chance of developing breast cancer over the course of her lifetime is about one in eight. Breast cancer is most treatable and curable when it is detected early. That’s why the American College of Radiology urges you to get a mammogram every year once you reach 40 years old. Depending on your family history, your risks and your physician’s findings, mammography may be
recommended earlier or more frequently.
What to expect The Corewell Health Betty Ford Breast Care Services mobile mammography unit is a clinic on wheels that uses the most advanced technology. You will be welcomed in a comfortable registration and waiting area. After you have registered, use our private dressing room before receiving your mammogram.

Houghton - Free Narcan Training Sessions
2024-09-19 18:30 - 19:30 | Portage Lake District Library, 4585 W. Lakeshore Drive, Houghton, MI, 49908, United States
Copper Shores Outreach & Education is pleased to announce a series of free Narcan training sessions aimed at equipping community members with vital skills to respond to opioid overdoses and save lives. They will take place on September 10 in Lake Linden, September 19 in Houghton and September 23 in Baraga.

Naloxone (Narcan™) is a life-saving medication that can reverse opioid overdoses. Narcan is an opiate antidote which works in much the same manner as an epinephrine injection (EpiPen™) reverses an allergic reaction. Opioids include heroin and prescription pain pills like OxyContin™, Percocet™, methadone and Vicodin™. When a person is overdosing from an opioid, their central nervous system and respiration system is depressed and breathing slows or stops. Naloxone blocks the effects of opioids and reverses the effects of an overdose.

“Now more than ever, individuals are encouraged to prepare themselves with the training and confidence they need to respond quickly in an overdose situation,” Copper Shores Prevention Coordinator Lisa Simpson said. “Narcan training equips individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to respond effectively in an opioid overdose emergency.”

This training is designed to provide participants with knowledge on how to use Narcan effectively and understand its role in emergency situations.

Topics include:

The ability to recognize the signs of an opioid overdose.
To administer the opioid overdose reversal drug naloxone.
To understand the role of harm reduction in the overall opioid public health crisis.

Naloxone Layperson Training dates, times & locations:

Thursday, September 19 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Portage Lake District Library (4585 W. Lakeshore Drive, Houghton)
Monday, September 23 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Ojibwa Community Library (409 Superior Avenue, Baraga)

All community members are welcome to attend, and no prior experience is required. Narcan training is offered free of charge and takes approximately one hour to complete. After completing training, attendees will receive a free Narcan kit that can be administered in the field and save a life. The training is part of Copper Shores Outreach & Education’s ongoing efforts to enhance community health and safety.

Registration is not required, but recommended. To register for Narcan training, contact Lisa Simpson by calling 1 (906) 523-5920 ext. 2062 or emailing lsimpson@coppershors.org.
