Three different aspects of breast cancer were discussed April 24 at a women's health forum sponsored by Avera Sacred Heart Hospital.

May 1 marked the start of Better Hearing and Speech Month, a month dedicated to educating consumers about the need to assure that their hearing is healthy. This year, Yankton Ear Nose and Throat is joining with the Better Hearing Institute (BHI) in the Across America Hearing Check Challenge, a nationwide campaign to help millions of Americans reclaim their quality of life by facing up to unaddressed hearing loss. Spouses, Baby Boomers and their aging parents, and all American families and friends in the Yankton area are encouraged to rise to the challenge and get their hearing checked--together. Now, simply by visiting www.hearingcheck.org and walking through a simple, 15-question self-screener in the privacy of one's own home, anyone can easily take the first step in addressing hearing loss.
