End-of-Summer Wellness & Preparing for a Healthy Fall

by | Aug 10, 2026

National Wellness Month

As summer comes to an end, it’s the perfect time to refocus on your health and wellness. August is National Wellness Month, serving as an important reminder to prioritize healthy habits, schedule recommended health screenings, and invest in preventive care.

Healthy Aging Month

Looking ahead, September is Healthy Aging Month, a reminder that healthy aging is something we all strive for, regardless of our age. Small lifestyle choices, routine medical care, and staying active can make a significant difference in your long-term health.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, encouraging everyone to become familiar with their breast health and stay up to date with recommended mammograms. Early detection remains one of the most effective tools in the fight against breast cancer.

Preventive screenings, including mammograms and colonoscopies, allow us to identify concerns before symptoms develop. Detecting disease early often leads to more treatment options and better outcomes.

Dr. Jerel Brandt provides screening colonoscopies in several North Dakota and state areas. See website for details or call for scheduling.

As you enjoy the final days of summer and prepare for the changing seasons, make your health a priority. Consistent preventive care and timely screenings are simple steps that can have a lasting impact on your well-being.

Stay healthy, stay informed, and enjoy a safe transition into fall!
