The Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Marseille (AP-HM) launches a new awareness campaign for October Rose, under the slogan « Don't hesitate, feel yourselves! Screening bears fruit. ». Fruits are used to represent the chest and draw attention to the importance of palpation and breast cancer screening.
Throughout the month, professionals and students from the AP-HM are mobilizing. From October 5th to 9th, from 9 am to 3 pm, the Faculté Nord hosts a week of awareness for students and health professionals, with information, simulator palpation workshops, and quizzes.
On October 12th, a day dedicated to screening and well-being is planned, with information stands, self-palpation workshops, and reflexology, socio-aesthetics, and RESC activities in the Bulle Rose.
On October 13th, a flash mob will take place starting at 2 pm on the Vieux-Port of Marseille. On October 15th, the Hôpital Nord will offer a stand on the mammography procedure and the role of health professionals.
Dedicated slots for mammography and screening are also offered at the Hôpital Nord on October 7th, 14th, 20th, and 27th, from 1:30 pm to 4 pm, for staff over 50 years old.
The mobilization extends beyond the AP-HM. On October 2nd, a screening of the film « 15 femmes pour un sommet » is followed by a discussion. From October 23rd to 25th, the Hébergeuses solidaires are organizing a weekend of activities in the Ain department.
Two sporting events are planned: Marseille Rose on October 4th, a solidarity run, and the Défi Octobre Rose connecté throughout the month, a physical mobilization challenge.
Finally, a new episode of the podcast « Mon cancer & moi » is available, focusing on supportive care and its importance in the journey of patients and their loved ones.
