The "Class of 2007 Graduation Spectacular" show is our gift to graduating seniors. Our seniors will be bombarded with so much useless information during their Commencement that someone should talk about the real issues facing today's youth. From the dangers of Crocs® shoes to the practical aspects of getting your nipple pierced, Health Matters gives you the info that your graduation speaker refuses to talk about, and your "MinuteClinic" caregiver doesn't have on the menu. Health Matters: a grad's dad's "tad sad" wad of chads that makes you glad.

Tony's Tips

[ Cancer ] - Know your breast cancer facts. According to the Annnals of Internal Medicine, for every 10,000 women age 40 who get mammograms for 10 years, 140 cancers will be detected. Twenty women will die of breast cancer. Six deaths may be prevented by mammograms, but 2000 biopsies will be performed. Check your personal risk, and talk to your doctor. In today’s legal climate, they (and we) will most certainly recommend mammograms.
