🩺✨ In honor of Gynecological Cancer (Ovarian & Uterine) Awareness Month, we consulted with our Nurse Practitioner, Mary Catherine Plymel MSN, FNP-C, who answered important questions about early signs, risk factors, and screening options for these types of cancers. Interviewed by our very own Strategic Project Coordinator, Abigail Strennen, MHA, the discussion highlights critical information every woman should know.1️⃣ What are some common early signs or symptoms of ovarian and uterine cancers that women should be aware of?
2️⃣ Are there any specific risk factors that increase a woman’s chance of developing ovarian or uterine cancer?
3️⃣ How often should women schedule screenings, and what type of screenings are available at ACC for early detection?It’s essential for women to consult healthcare professionals, particularly if they have risk factors or experience concerning symptoms. Regular check-ups and open communication about changes in health can lead to earlier detection and better outcomes.🎙️ @abigailstren#GynecologicalCancerAwareness #WomensHealth #EarlyDetection #OvarianCancer #UterineCancer #AskAckerman #HealthMatters #CancerCare

🎨 Artwork Spotlight at Ackerman Cancer Center - Mandarin OfficeWe believe that art plays an essential role in creating a healing and welcoming environment for our patients.This week, we’re highlighting two incredible pieces by artist Matt Neuman: ”Finite #1” and ”Finite #2” (2015). These stunning works bring a sense of calm and reflection, reminding us of the beauty in life’s details.Matt Neuman (American, b. 1985) is a painter and printmaker based in the Bronx, NY. He’s interested in the visual interplay of color, line, geometry, and repetition, creating optically dense compositions that reverberate within the confines of his surface. With an interest in physics, origami, space-time, and the infinite image, Neuman’s work engages with geometric abstraction as a means of providing structural logic that resonates with humanity’s instinctive tendency to organize information.“Like using both hands to examine and understand an object, I use painting and printmaking to pass concepts back and forth as I explore them. And like each hand, each process works both independently and as part of a system where the motions of each are greatly affected by the other.” — Matt Neuman🎨 @neuman.matt#ArtAndHealing #AckermanCancerCenter #HealingEnvironment #MattNeuman #ArtSpotlight #MandarinOffice #JacksonvilleArt
