🍂 **NOVEMBER STEP UP YANCEY CHALLENGE: 10,000 STEPS!** 👟

Yancey County, let's get moving! Our November Step Up Yancey challenge is all about getting out, being active, and finding little ways to move more throughout the day.

This month, we're challenging you to work toward 10,000 steps a day!

Whether you're walking the dog, taking a stroll around the neighborhood, exploring one of our local trails, or getting a few extra steps in throughout your workday, we want you to join us!

Here's how to participate:
- Work toward 10,000 steps each day throughout November.
- Track your steps using your phone, smartwatch, or pedometer.
- Submit your activity log each week.
- Earn an entry into our monthly prize drawing for each weekly activity log you submit.
- Complete the November challenge for an additional prize drawing entry!

New to Step Up Yancey? No problem! Registration is free, and you can participate individually or with a group. Pedometers are also available through the Health Department for those who need one.

And remember, 10,000 steps is a goal, not a requirement. Set a daily goal that works for you. Every step counts, and we're just glad you're moving with us!

🍁 Ready to join us?

👻 Check your BOO-bies!

This October, don’t let breast health give you a scare!

Knowing how your breasts normally look and feel can help you notice changes like a new lump, swelling, skin changes, or ni**le changes that should be checked by a healthcare provider.

Breast self-exams do not replace recommended screenings like mammograms or clinical breast exams, but knowing what’s normal for your body is still important.

Notice something spooky? Don’t ghost it! 👻 Talk with your healthcare provider or give us a call if you have questions about breast screening and resources.

Early detection can save lives. 💗
