At the center of every breast cancer journey are the patients, families, and care teams whose strength and dedication make hope possible — and remind us that timely, coordinated care saves lives.   In #TPMG, we deliver compassionate, whole-person care that improves outcomes through:   🧬Prevention, early detection, and advanced treatments 💡Innovations such as AI tools that help radiologists detect cancers earlier 🤝Comprehensive care addressing physical, emotional, and cultural needs 📈Proven results, including breast cancer screening rates above the national average, 85% of patients diagnosed at an early stage when cancer is highly treatable, and five-year survival rates that consistently exceed national averages   This #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth, we honor the patients whose strength inspires us and thank our physicians and care teams for providing exceptional care every day. 🩷

💙Making cervical cancer screening easier — without compromising accuracy. 💙 A pilot program is giving Kaiser Permanente members in select Northern California locations the option to screen themselves for HPV — the leading cause of cervical cancer — either at home or at one of our labs, without the need for an appointment or pelvic exam.   These self-collected tests are just as accurate as clinician-collected samples, and by making screening even more accessible, we’re helping advance life-saving preventive care.   The pilot is expanding this fall and will roll out to all our members in Northern California next year, with the goal of further increasing our cervical cancer screening rates, which are already above the national average.   A big thank you to #TPMG physicians Tracy Seo, Betty Suh-Burgmann, Kari Carlson, and others across Kaiser Permanente Northern California who are leading this important innovation in preventive care.  🙏 Learn more ➡️ http://bit.ly/4nP1RGa

Flu season is right around the corner. Let’s protect our communities together.   The best time to get vaccinated to prevent flu illness and spread is now, early in the fall before flu season begins — which can start as soon as October.   In #TPMG, we’re leading by example. Our physicians, nurses, and care teams are rolling up their sleeves and helping others do the same. At Kaiser Permanente, we offer flu shots at no cost to all members ages 6 months and older.   Vaccines remain one of the safest, most effective ways to protect our patients and communities and keep our health care systems strong through the winter months.    Join us in taking this simple but powerful step toward better health.   🔗 https://lnkd.in/edmtMm5n   #FluPrevention
