Atrium Medical Center Hosts Brake for Breakfast on Oct. 6
In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Premier Health will hold “Brake for Breakfast” events at multiple locations throughout the month of October, including at Atrium Medical Center in Middletown. During the morning commute, motorists can drive through and pick up a free breakfast bag and helpful breast health information, while supplies last.
The Middletown event will take place Tuesday, October 6, from 6 to 10 a.m. at Atrium Medical Center, One Medical Center Drive, Middletown, Ohio 45005.
Additionally, the Q102 Morning Show will be on hand at Atrium Medical Center to greet motorists and provide helpful information about breast cancer awareness to their many listeners.
According to the National Cancer Institute, over 40,000 women die annually from breast cancer. A woman’s chances for survival are good if detected early.
The goal of Brake for Breakfast is to encourage more women 40 and older to get an annual mammogram and tell their mothers, sisters and daughters to do the same. This event is a fun way to show women that taking care of their health should be part of their daily routine. Commuters don’t have to leave their cars to participate.
Additional Brake for Breakfast events will take place from 6 to 10 a.m. at the following Premier Health locations:
• Thursday, October 1, at Upper Valley Medical Center Outpatient Care Center – North, 280 Looney Road, Piqua, Ohio 45356;
• Thursday, October 8, at Miami Valley Hospital North, 8900 N. Main St., Englewood, Ohio 45415; and
• Thursday, October 15, at Miami Valley Hospital South, 2400 Miami Valley Drive, Centerville, Ohio 45459
Premier Health is committed to safeguarding the health of our patients, visitors, and staff. New safety and contactless measures are in place at this year’s Brake for Breakfast events. All staff and volunteers at the event will be wearing masks and will be screened for coronavirus symptoms. For added precaution, Premier Health is asking motorists to also wear a face covering while staying in their car.
