Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Support, Screening & Hope at Highland District Hospital

October 19, 2025

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Every October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of early detection, community support, and access to expert care. At Highland District Hospital, we stand with survivors, fighters, and families, not just this month, but every day.

If you or someone you love is facing a cancer diagnosis, you don’t have to go far for expert, compassionate care. Our Cancer Care and Hematology Department, right here in Hillsboro, is dedicated to guiding patients through every stage of their journey, from diagnosis to treatment and beyond.


Why Breast Cancer Awareness Matters

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women, but early detection can make a life-saving difference. When caught early, breast cancer is highly treatable, and routine screening plays a critical role.

This month is a good time to:

  • Schedule your annual mammogram
  • Learn your family history
  • Talk to your provider about personal risk factors
  • Encourage loved ones to get screened

Awareness leads to action, and action leads to better outcomes.
