6 Key Steps to Stop Water Damage Before It Starts
Water damage can strike when you least expect it, and the repairs can be costly. Minor incidents may cost between $1,300 and $5,600, but if left unchecked, the damage can escalate to tens of thousands of dollars.
Fortunately, a few preventative measures can help protect your home and save you from future headaches and expenses.
Regular Plumbing Inspections
Check for leaks under sinks, around toilets, and behind appliances. Even a small drip can lead to major issues over time.
Seal Windows and Doors
Ensure that windows and doors are properly sealed to keep water from entering your home. Repair any cracks or gaps in the frames as soon as you notice them.
Roof and Gutter Maintenance
Inspect your roof for missing or damaged shingles, and clean your gutters regularly to prevent clogs. Overflow can cause water to pool around your home’s foundation. Consider adding gutter guards and downspout extenders to direct water away from your property.
Monitor Kitchens and Bathrooms
Check the caulking around sinks, bathtubs, and read more

Breast Cancer Prevention Starts with Self-Exams and Self-Care
Understanding Breast Cancer: Support and Self-Exams for Women
One in eight American women will face a breast cancer diagnosis in her lifetime. This year alone, an estimated 310,720 women will be diagnosed with this disease. Given these statistics, it’s likely that everyone knows someone who has been personally affected by breast cancer.
To support those navigating this challenging journey, Dr. Andrew J. Shapiro, MD, FACS, Medical Director of the Advanced Breast Center at Wellington Regional Medical Center, leads a free breast cancer support group. This group is open to anyone who has experienced a breast cancer diagnosis or has supported a loved one through the process, regardless of where or when they received treatment.
The support group, hosted by Sheila Palacios, MSN-Ed, RN, OCN, Oncology Nurse Navigator, meets on the fourth Sunday of every month from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM in the Wellington Regional Medical Center Community Room.
Dr. Shapiro emphasizes the importance of regular mammograms, recommending they begin at age 40, along with monthly breast self-exams.
“Home self-exams are an effective way to maintain good breast health and stay aware of any changes that you can discuss with your doctor,” Dr. Shapiro explains.
For effective self-exams, choose a specific day each month to make it a habit—like the first of the month. Keeping a journal or using your phone to track your findings can help you monitor any changes over time.
“A self-exam takes just a few minutes and can easily be done while getting dressed, lying in bed, or taking a shower,” says read more
