Some of my favorite things include cheering on the Mississippi State Bulldogs, reading on my porch, going to concerts, and Chick-fil-A.”

The Rehab Team at Encore Rehabilitation-Phenix City is wearing pink to raise awareness for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Shown here are Physical Therapist Assistant Brandon Boyer; Physical Therapist Paige Riddick, Clinic Director; and Front Office Manager Barbara Bellamy.
Currently, there are over 3.8 million breast cancer survivors in the United States.
All women face the risk of breast cancer. But with early detection and diagnosis, the chance of beating breast cancer is greater than 90 percent** according to current research. Early detection includes doing monthly breast self-exams and scheduling regular clinical breast exams and mammograms.
