Latest and greatest cosmetic solutions found at Artistic MedSpa 

Many dental procedures are 

cosmetic, so when Artistic Dentistry 

began offering customers 

more therapeutic treatments, a 

spin off — and expansion — 

was a natural move. 

Enter Artistic MedSpa, 14811 

S. Founder’s Crossing, Homer 

Glen, which offers the latest 

treatment options for facial esthetics 

and smile enhancement. 

“We concluded,” practice 

manager Jeanette Arkoush said, 

“that Botox treatment of the face 

— and other treatments such as 

dermal fillers — will impact our 

results with restorative dentistry 

as well as meet our patient’s 

desire of having facial esthetic 

procedures performed.” 

Artistic MedSpa offers a full 

slate of cosmetic solutions, 

from Botox and skin resurfacing 

to cellulite reduction and 

scar reduction, led by medical 

director Dr. Joel Arkoush, who 

along with his staff believes in 

solutions over quick fixes. 

“There’s a lot of hype and a 

lot masking the problems as 

opposed to correcting the problem,” 

Jeanette said. “Our Med- 

Spa treatments are all sciencebased 

and backed by years of 

successful outcomes. These 

procedures initiate a natural 

healing process to rejuvenate 

the skin, spurring the growth of 

new collagen. 

“We aren’t just using a cream 

to make your skin feel more 

supple; we are healing the skin 

from within, literally turning 

back the hands of time.” 

Dr. Arkoush is a trained member 

of the American Academy 

of Facial Esthetics, which has 

provided him with advanced 

cosmetic techniques. 

The staff at Artistic MedSpa is 

also trained by the Venus Concepts 

in numerous cutting-edge 

procedures that must be applied 

by trained professionals. 

Just some of those procedures 

are: intense pulse light therapy 

used in photo rejuvenation and 

laser hair removal; noninvasive 

facial and body sculpting; fractional 

radio frequency for both 

skin tightening, skin resurfacing 

and wrinkle reduction; and 

magnetic pulse therapy and lipolysis, 

or cellulite reduction. 

Artistic MedSpa also is an authorized 

retailer of SkinMedia, 

which makes advance skin-care 

products with reliable ingredients, 

and also offers a loyalty 

program under Allergan’s Brilliant 

Distinctions, where you 

can bank points, earn rewards 

and save money on your favorite 

cosmetic treatments, such as Botox 

and Juvaderm 

“At Artistic MedSpa, we are 

firm believers in natural beauty, 

but also believe in helping you 

age with grace and elegance,” 

Jeanette said. “This means that 

wrinkles, sagging skin, sun damage 

and uneven skin do not have 

to be a part of your aging process. 

“We are here to provide the 

utmost personalized care to help 

you look and feel your best. Our 

team will take the time to listen 

to your concerns and discuss the 

treatment that would be most appropriate 

to help you reach your 

goals.”

ReLive Therapy, Gold Coast Orthopaedics unite for pain-free living 

ReLive Physical Therapy and 

Gold Coast Orthopaedics have 

partnered to provide a welcoming 

and relaxed, yet professional environment, 

where clients receive 

one-on-one care for maximum rehabilitation 

potential. 

The two businesses work in 

tandem, both serving the same patients 

with quality care. 

When patients visit the businesses, 

they see Gold Coast Orthopaedics 

to be evaluated and 

visit an orthopedic surgeon, and 

then they follow up with ReLive 

for physical therapy. 

ReLive offers a wide-range 

of services, including manual 

therapy, structured therapy exercises, 

work conditioning, athletic 

screenings, pain management 

consultation, dry needling and nutrition 

consultations. 

Their therapists treat workerscomp 

injury, personal injury, collision 

and whiplash injury, athletic-collision 

injury, neck pain, 

shoulder pain, knee pain, back 

pain, foot and ankle pathology, 

and post-op. 

The company was founded by 

Jim Judge and along with his staff, 

Judge focuses on providing expert 

clinical care and measurable outcomes. 

The mission of ReLive Physical 

Therapy is to provide each patient 

with the individual care needed to 

get them back to living a pain-free 

life. 

Gold Coast Orthopaedics & Rehabilitation 

was founded by Dr. 

Jacob Morgenstern, a practicing 

orthopedic surgeon. 

As the two businesses work 

hand-in-hand, Morgenstern considers 

Judge his right-hand man, 

and said it is the same for Judge. 

“No orthopedic surgeon practices 

without his right-hand man or 

woman,” Morgenstern said about 

the importance that the businesses 

place in one another. “And that is 

physical therapy.” 

Morgenstern also works with 

nurse practitioner Rajesh Chattergoon. 

Rajesh has worked closely in 

collaboration with Morgenstern 

for many years. He has a vast 

knowledge of the muscular skeletal 

system and disease processes. 

The convenience of having orthopedics 

and physical therapy 

working so closely with one another 

is an advantage for the businesses. 

“The orthopedic doctor can see 

the progress of his patients on a 

fairly regular basis, because he’s 

always in tune with the therapist,” 

Morgenstern said. 

One of the effective methods 

that Gold Coast Orthopaedics 

uses, further setting them apart 

from competition, is conservative 

therapy. 

“Conservative therapy is injections 

to the shoulder, knee and 

back with therapy,” Morgenstern 

said. 

There are ever-increasing incidents 

of orthopedic injuries, 

ranging from sporting to work 

accidents, and Gold Coast Orthopaedics 

& Rehabilitation provides 

quality care and serves as champions 

of good health. It pushes for 

optimal rehabilitation in order to 

restore and retain maximum functionality. 

The orthopedic clinic offers 

patients health assessments and 

evaluations, school and sports 

physicals, myofascial and joint injections, 

epidural injections, pain 

management and custom orthoses, 

among additional services. 

Gold Coast Orthopaedics not 

only focuses on the patient’s physical 

well-being, but it also focuses 

on “the whole.” 

It works closely with clients 

who suffer from occupational injuries 

and workman’s compensation 

cases. 

Gold Coast also offers telephone 

and video call appointments; 

though, in-person visits are 

preferred. 

Gold Coast Orthopaedics & 

Rehabilitation also offers second 

opinions for clients who have received 

a diagnosis from another 

doctor and desire a second opinion 

from Morgenstern. 

In addition to the Mokena location 

that both businesses share, 

ReLive Physical Therapy also has 

an office located in Glenview.

DuPage Medical Group 

gives tips on health 

screenings through the 

ages for women 

In today’s busy world, 

it’s more important than 

ever for women of all 

ages to take control of 

their health. Preventive 

care starts with understanding 

potential health 

risks and ensuring any 

recommended screenings 

at each stage in life are 

being met. 

Being in their 20s can 

be a fun time for women. 

It’s when most women are 

at or near their physical 

peak. Building healthy 

habits during this time 

will help set a path for 

better health long-term. 

Although there may not 

have be major health concerns 

right now, it’s still 

important to have regular 

check-ups to establish a 

health history. Monthly 

self-breast exams, an annual 

physical and vision 

screenings are all exams 

or screenings that women 

should have in your 

20s. Pelvic exams, pap 

smears, blood sugar and 

cholesterol testing are 

also important to have 

every 2-3 years. 

Women in their 30s 

may not feel or look much 

different than they did in 

their 20s; however, the 

body is, in fact, changing. 

The risk of developing 

type 2 diabetes, cervical 

cancer and breast cancer 

is now higher, so it is even 

more important to continue 

preventive screenings. 

Some women may notice 

that their metabolism is 

slowing down, and that’s 

normal. Cleaning up eating 

habits now can help 

avoid health problems in 

future years. Women may 

also notice that seeking 

balance in their lives is 

becoming increasingly 

difficult. Women should 

remember to make time 

for themselves. Even a 

few minutes of yoga or 

reading can help relieve 

stress. 

A woman’s 40s are 

a major time of transition. 

She may begin to 

experience symptoms of 

perimenopause – or the 

transition to menopause – 

such as hot flashes, vaginal 

dryness and trouble 

sleeping. Those women 

experiencing any of these 

symptoms should be sure 

to talk with their primary 

care physician or gynecologist. 

They also may 

notice that they’re beginning 

to lose muscle mass, 

but don’t worry. By adding 

weight training to 

their workouts, women 

can help prevent muscle 

loss and osteoporosis. 

When they reach their 

50s and beyond, women 

need to devote even 

more attention to their 

health. During this phase 

of their lives, the risk of 

developing heart disease, 

stroke and osteoporosis 

continues to increase. In 

addition to monthly and 

annual exams, a primary 

care provider may recommend 

bone density or 

blood sugar testing and/ 

or a colonoscopy. Women 

can also try to seek fun, 

low impact fitness activities, 

such as tennis, golf 

or yoga, and aim for at 

least seven-nine hours of 

sleep a night. Remember 

that to age gracefully, it 

is important for women 

to love their bodies. 

No matter what phase 

of life a woman is in, 

there are always measures 

she can take to 

maintain her health. With 

more than 20 family and 

internal medicine, obstetrics, 

and gynecology 

and pediatric locations, 

DuPage Medical Group 

offers the care a family 

needs, close to home. Du- 

Page Medical Group has 

south suburban locations

Ridge, Evergreen Park,

Unique approach to care offers daily joy 

Those caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s, 

dementia or other types of 

memory loss are no longer alone. Evergreen 

Senior Living in Orland Park offers 

The Legacy: Memory Support. Its team 

of trained caregivers offers personalized 

care and a unique approach to caring for 

seniors with memory loss. 

“My mother knew that there was something 

going on with her short term memory,” 

said one resident’s daughter. “It’s 

hard to be a 24-hour caregiver. They [Evergreen 

Senior Living team] have learned 

to work with my mom and how to take 

care of her. My relationship with her is 

fabulous now.” 

At Evergreen Senior Living, Legacy 

Living means that the family is making 

sure that their loved one is cared for in the 

best way possible based on their needs. 

When people choose Legacy Living, 

those people’s promises to care for their 

loved one is fulfilled. 

“We have a great team of caregivers, 

of nurses, of staff that really love our 

residents,” said Evergreen Senior Living 

Wellness Coordinator Pauline McGrath. 

Each day gently unfolds At Evergreen 

Senior Living The Legacy: Memory Support, 

taking into account each senior’s 

preferences and comfort levels. The 

person-centered programming promotes 

socialization during a time that can feel 

incredibly isolating. The Legacy: Memory 

Support staff, who come in each day 

refreshed and revitalized, take care of the 

day-to-day tasks so families can go back 

to their favorite roles in their loved one’s 

life: family. 

“We are by no means taking anything 

away from the family or the resident 

themselves; we are just giving things 

back,” said Legacy: Memory Support 

Coordinator Kaylee Meyers. “Maintaining 

family contact is one of our biggest 

goals.“ 

This unique approach works in tandem 

with the facility’s unique campus, which 

has been created to strategically cater to 

residents with memory loss. Every detail 

at The Legacy: Memory Care has been 

designed with the clients’ loved ones in 

mind. 

Walking paths are designed in a continuous 

figure eight, so residents can always 

find their way to their destination. 

Customized memory boxes hang outside 

of apartments to help residents know they 

are home. Bathrooms are set at an angle 

in the apartments so that residents have a 

clear idea of how to enter and exit. Kitchen 

and dining areas are built for smaller 

groups to ensure less noise and interruptions, 

and more individualized attention. 

Evergreen Senior Living is a part of the 

Heritage Health family, one of Illinois’ 

leading senior healthcare providers. With 

55 years of successful care for seniors, and 

54 nursing home and assisted living centers 

across the state, Evergreen’s memory 

care expertise is extensive. Throughout 

the years, its taken the time to refine its 

approaches so seniors with memory care 

needs can be their best selves and families 

can have peace of mind. It calls its unique 

approach, “Life Unrehearsed.” 

Director Amanda Mauceri enjoys assisting 

families at Evergreen Senior Living 

in Orland Park. 

“I think, as a team, we support our 

families as they come in, and we want 

to make sure we’re right alongside with 

them,” Mauceri said. 

Evergreen Senior Living in Orland 

Park is a community where independence 

thrives and compassionate care is always

compassionate and attentive 

to those needs. Staff 

is available to assist you 

24 hours a day, seven days 

a week, offering residents

Tinley Court has been 

described as “like being 

on a cruise ship without 

the seasickness.” We eat, 

play games and enjoy the 

camaraderie of our neighbors 

and friends.”

living community.

Become part of the Hawkinson Kia family 

Integrity, service are priorities 

at Matteson dealership 

There is a stigma attached 

to car salespeople, 

and Ariel Rogers used to 

believe in it. 

That’s why, she said, she 

got into the business. 

“Because I didn’t trust 

salesmen, I could make 

customers like me feel 

more comfortable,” said 

Ariel, a sales consultant 

with Hawkinson Kia in 

Matteson. “It feels better 

to help out that family that 

has been denied or that 

doesn’t know the process 

well. We want to make 

sure you have someone 

you trust.” 

Trust and respect are 

foundational pillars of 

the car-buying process at 

Hawkinson Kia, where the 

motto is “A customer is a 

customer for life.” 

At most dealerships, Ariel 

said, the customer hears 

“No” a lot — “no, we can’t 

do that” or “no, you won’t 

find that anywhere.” 

“Customers feel disrespected,” 

she said. “Here 

it’s more gentle and we 

treat you like family. We 

build a relationship with 

everybody — bad credit or 

good credit.” 

The reason that is so important 

is because Hawkinson 

Kia knows buying a 

car is not a simple or inexpensive 

decision. It is 

important to an individual 

or a family and involves 

planning and sacrifice. 

“We want to encourage 

them to buy a car to help 

them, not to help us,” Ariel 

said. 

It’s a long tradition of integrity 

started when Robert 

R. Hawkinson opened 

a Ford dealership in Oak 

Lawn in 1961. The current 

owners of Hawkinson 

Kia, Bob and Jim, trained 

at their father’s operation 

and today, carry on in the 

same tradition in the family 

name. 

That attitude has helped 

Hawkinson Kia become 

one of the top dealers in 

the region. Its inventory 

is highlighted by new Kia 

vehicles like the new, 

award-winning Kia Tulleride 

SUV. 

“Right now it is flying in 

and flying out,” Ariel said. 

Hawkinson Kia’s service 

department — with 

ASE- and Kia-trained 

technicians — is tops in 

the area, as is the parts 

department, which has an 

inventory of more than 1 

million parts. 

“When you are buying a 

vehicle, you want to trust 

the company can take care 

of your car and get you a 

good deal with better service,” 

Ariel said. “You 

don’t have to worry about 

that here.”

p.m. Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-

New Lenox woman recovers 

from heart procedure with 

rehab at Silver Cross 

For most women, a tightfitting 

bra is uncomfortable, 

but for retired school 

administrative secretary 

Nancy Teschke, it was a 

lifesaving signal to see a 

doctor. 

A few years ago, Teschke 

came to the painful realization 

that she had gained a 

lot of weight; in fact, she 

was at an all-time high. So 

she embarked on a weightloss 

journey that included 

hiking, biking and golf. 

To her delight, this youngat-heart, 

active wife and 

mother of adult children 

lost 50 pounds following a 

year’s investment of dedicated 

effort. 

Relaxing on a vacation 

watching TV last fall 

in Branson, Missouri, she 

wondered why her bra felt 

tight. She admittedly felt 

a little lightheaded and 

fatigued on occasion, but 

chalked it up to needing 

new glasses, overdoing 

activities or overeating on 

vacation, especially after a 

round of golf and visiting 

tourist attractions. In the 

back of her mind, she also 

knew her dad had suffered 

heart disease, but quickly 

put that out of her mind. 

Luckily, her husband ignored 

her excuses and took 

her to the nearest emergency 

room where an angioplasty 

revealed a 99 percent 

blockage in her main coronary 

artery and a 50 percent 

blockage in a second one. 

This degree of blockage 

is often referred to as “the 

widow maker.” Two stents 

were inserted and, after a 

short hospital stay, she returned 

home to New Lenox 

still overwhelmed by the 

experience and concerned 

about the future. 

“It was frightening to realize 

that what I assumed 

was minor discomfort actually 

indicated a desperately 

dangerous heart condition,” 

Teschke said. 

She called Heartland 

Cardiovascular and connected 

with cardiologist 

Hazem Al Muradi, M.D., 

who designed a follow-up 

care plan that included cardiac 

rehabilitation at Silver 

Cross Hospital. 

“This was a big wake-up 

call for me, and I appreciated 

the informative staff 

guidance during my rehab 

program,” Teschke said. “I 

learned why I was doing 

certain exercises and what 

I could expect in terms 

of health improvements. 

The staff was friendly and 

knowledgeable, and the 

constant monitoring gave 

me confidence that I could 

safely return to a normal, 

even healthier life.” 

Silver Cross rehabilitation 

nurses and exercise 

physiologists monitor activities 

with telemetry and 

helped Teschke learn to 

change her bike riding to a 

level that benefits her heart. 

“A diagnosis or treatment 

for a heart condition 

can be life-changing, even 

frightening,” said Brendan 

Casey, Manager of Cardiology, 

Endoscopy and 

the Interventional Lab at 

Silver Cross. “The goal of 

the Silver Cross Cardiac 

Rehabilitation Program is 

to provide individualized, 

progressive exercise and 

education to help participants 

and families recover 

from the cardiovascular 

event and prevent future 

heart problems. Our program 

is designed to improve 

the functioning of the 

heart and lungs, strengthen 

muscles and help our patients 

confidently live their 

best life.” 

Teschke said the program 

has helped her in 

many ways. 

“I learned about building 

cardio endurance and 

strength fitness through 

monitored activities and 

education,” Teschke said. 

“I attended classes to 

learn about diet and lifestyle 

changes that would 

improve my overall heart 

health and fitness, such as 

watching hidden sodium 

levels and stress management 

techniques.”

36 rehabilitation 

sessions over 12 weeks, Te-

Customer service sets 

Lorenz Appliances apart 

Integrity and reliability have been pillars 

of Lorenz Appliances since Don Lorenz 

Sr. opened the family business in the 

1960s. 

Now, his sons, Don Jr. and Brett, continue 

serving suburban residents with 

that same level of customer service amid 

growth that includes a new builders showroom 

in Mokena. 

That customer service starts at the 

source: the prices. 

“I’m not out to gouge anyone or get rich 

out of a deal,” Brett said. “My father always 

said treat a customer fairly and they 

will come back to you.” 

Many appliance giants outsource delivery 

services. The disconnect in the process 

leads to a lack of accountability. 

But with Lorenz, the customer will 

know and can trust who is delivering their 

product, emphasizing the company’s motto: 

Not the biggest. Just the best. 

“We’re there to take care of our customer, 

especially through the delivery and 

installation process,” Don Jr. said. “The 

client experience is much better with Lorenz 

Appliances.” 

The company carries the top brands and 

latest models in a full catalogue of appliances, 

from a variety of refrigerators, ovens, 

and washers and dryers, to outdoor 

cooking equipment. 

Visitors to Lorenzappliance.com can 

find the latest addition to Lorenz’s inventory, 

as well as information on current 

sales, promotions and upcoming events. 

Already with a flagship store in Homewood 

(18320 Governors Highway), 

Lorenz’s added a modern showroom at 

19081 Old LaGrange Road in Mokena in 

2018, allowing Lorenz Appliances to better 

serve its friends across the southwest 

suburbs. 

Lorenz Appliances was the winner of a 

22nd Century Media SouthWest Choice 

Award for the Best Appliance Store in the 

area, according to residents’ votes. 

The new showroom will be the site of a 

spring celebration on the first weekend in 

May, in coordination with the Kentucky 

Derby on May 4. 

“We’ll get the grills out and cook all 

day long; let people know we’re there,” 

Brett said.

Phil & Amy take travelers 

across the country 

Phil & Amy, husband 

and wife recording artists, 

are well known for their 

Chicagoland performances 

and recent years of soldout 

shows at Starved Rock 

Lodge. What fans may not 

know is that they also have 

been offering travel tours 

for more than 25 years. 

Yes, Phil & Amy offer 

deluxe motorcoach travel 

trips to destinations both 

near and far. With each trip, 

their “family” of followers 

continues to grow. Instead 

of piling into your family 

vehicle, you board a motorcoach 

for an excursion 

to a fabulous destination. 

For overnights, one might 

think that spending all that 

time on a bus, even with 

a comfortable washroom 

equipped motorcoach, 

would be a bit much, but 

more than that, the motorcoach 

ride itself is part of 

the enjoyment of the overall 

experience. Travelers 

enjoy snacks, games and 

fun, watch movies/videos 

together and enjoy quiet 

time too. The camaraderie 

aboard the coach on a Phil 

& Amy trip is unbeatable 

and a large part of why 

these trips are so popular. 

All on board may start out 

as strangers, but they end 

up as “family” and friends. 

Upcoming Phil & Amy 

musical performances at 

Starved Rock include both 

multi-days in August and 

December. Added this year 

is an overnight/stay option 

at the lodge. One-day 

theatre performances are 

always part of the trip list 

repertoire. Overnight travelers 

are looking forward 

to June’s Cape Cod Tour. 

Later in June, St. Christopher 

Tours visits a favorite 

treasure, Mackinac Island, 

Michigan. Guests can 

see the Mackinac Bridge, 

bikes, horse and carriages, 

famous fudge and 

the historic Grand Hotel. 

Upon arrival in the U.P., 

enjoy a meal overlooking 

beautiful Lake Huron. 

On Mackinac, the group 

enjoys a horse drawn carriage 

tour of the Island and 

the famous Grand Hotel 

Luncheon Buffet. Spend 

the afternoon touring the 

Grand, enjoying views 

of The Straights from the 

world’s largest porch. 

With two nights, three 

days on the Island, there is 

plenty of free time to shop, 

explore, bike ride, tour historic 

Fort Mackinac or just 

find a spot to relax and take 

in the surrounding beauty. 

October offers a threeday 

visit to Frankenmuth, 

Michigan, a great Bavarian 

getaway featuring 

Bronner’s Christmas 

Wonderland. And in 2020, 

there will be a breathtaking 

scenic trip to The 

Grand Canyon and The 

Southwest Canyonlands. 

Guests will view various 

points of Grand Canyon 

National Park, one of the 

wonders of the world. 

Travel the crown of the 

Scenic Byway System, 

Highway 12, and the ever-changing 

landscape of 

Canyon Country. Travelers 

will also enjoy dinner 

served in a dining room 

overlooking the Colorado 

River. For a night to remember, 

head up river on 

an evening boat ride to enjoy 

one of the most unique 

sound and light shows in 

the world: 40,000 watts 

illuminating the canyon 

walls, bringing them to 

life, an experience visitors 

have hailed as the “highlight 

of our vacation.” 

Each stop on this tour will 

leave visitors in awe of its 

unique beauty, which only 

the forces of nature can 

accomplish over centuries 

of time. For more information,

Moms love the Original Pancake House 

menu for special Mother’s Day meal 

Moms love pancakes 

and they know breakfast is 

the most important meal of 

the day. Why not take all 

the moms in your life out 

to a delicious breakfast 

at The Original Pancake 

House this Mother’s Day? 

The Original Pancake 

House prides itself on preparing 

delicious, homemade 

breakfasts using 

only the finest ingredients 

— such as grade AA 

eggs, pure heavy whipping 

cream and thick cut bacon 

— and presenting these 

mouthwatering meals with 

a smile. The employees 

are eager to serve and treat 

their guests like family. 

Many employees, as well 

as customers, have been 

dedicated to The Original 

Pancake House for over 

30 years. A very familiar 

face at the Orland Park 

location is Eddie. Eddie 

started serving at 16 years 

old when she arrived here 

from Korea and is still 

serving her regulars and 

their grandchildren 40 

years later. Eddie, a mom 

herself, knows how to 

amuse the children and get 

the food out quickly so the 

moms can enjoy a peaceful 

breakfast. Many of The 

Original Pancake House 

employees have been with 

the company for years. 

“Once we find a good 

employee, we try our best 

to keep them happy so 

they will stay,” said thirdgerneration 

owner Lisa 

Sczurek. “Guests love to 

see familiar faces, and we 

want everyone to think of 

us as their second home.” 

Lisa and her husband 

Steve are very hands-on 

operators. 

“There is nothing we 

would expect our employees 

to do that we 

haven’t done many times 

ourselves; we appreciate 

and respect how hard they 

work,” Lisa said. 

And hard work it is.

it’s the pancakes that truly

breakfast restaurants. 

More than 14 ingredients

They use a true sourdough

a culture of potatoes, flour 

and sugar, and activated

light and fluffy, melt

schke said she feels stronger and younger. 

“I share my new insights about diet 

and lifestyle with my adult children and 

through social media groups,” she said. 

“Next, I am considering follow-up with 

the Phase III rehab, more like a gym membership, 

or even purchasing a treadmill so 

I can follow up with my routine at home.“ 

Unfortunately, Teschke’s initial dismissal 

of symptoms is not uncommon, 

especially in women. Her advice: Talk to 

your doctor about any minor changes in 

physical symptoms and follow the doctor’s 

advice. 

Teschke’s “tight bra” helped her recognize 

symptoms, reduce risk factors and follow 

up with new ways to live a healthier 

and longer life!

GAELIC PARK

special events 

Chicago Gaelic Park has the experience

people with banquet rooms that are among 

the most beautiful in the southwest suburbs.

that can be rented for a host of occasions, 

Gaelic Park is the perfect setting for weddings, 

bridal and baby showers, school 

proms, dinner dances, concerts, meetings, 

and more. A variety of menus is available 

that allows each event to be customized. 

The grand Emerald Room is the perfect

meeting. With its sparkling crystal 

chandeliers, two large oak bars, an extra 

large hardwood dance floor, elevated 

stage and audio visual system, guests can 

truly enjoy the comfort and ambiance of 

the Emerald Room. 

The Tara Room, with direct access to 

the outdoor patio and waterfall area, is 

perfect for outdoor wedding ceremonies, 

cocktail parties or wedding receptions. 

The room features two beautiful oak bars, 

two sets of washrooms, a hardwood dance 

floor and elevated stage. This room can

NuMark Credit 

Union: Where 

customers are family 

For more than 60 years, 

NuMark Credit Union has 

helped members do more 

with their money. Nu- 

Mark has something for 

everyone, from convenient 

checking and online services 

to low-cost financing 

for homes and autos. It 

even offers small business 

and investment services. 

Looking for convenience? 

NuMark Credit 

Union offers an awardwinning 

mobile app, easy 

access to your money, 

more than 5,600 shared 

credit union locations nationwide 

and a free checking 

account that requires 

no minimum balance. 

The credit union difference 

As a financial cooperative, 

credit unions are notfor-profit, 

democratically 

controlled and memberowned. 

They exist to serve 

their members even in the 

toughest times. Instead of 

issuing stock or paying 

dividends to outside shareholders, 

credit unions provide 

value to their members 

by returning earnings 

in the form of lower loan 

rates, higher interest on 

deposits and lower or even 

no transaction fees. 

Why NuMark Credit 

Union? 

The experience is different 

at NuMark Credit 

Union. It treats their members 

like family, and it 

helps their members get to 

their fantastic future faster. 

NuMark has money to 

lend and are ready to serve 

all its costumers’ financial, 

needs from personal loans 

to mortgages. 

Customers’ dollars are 

federally insured to at least 

$250,000 by the National 

Credit Union Administration. 

NuMark Credit 

Union is open to the community 

and its been helping 

hardworking people 

achieve their dreams since 

1954. 

Wreaths Across America 

In 2018, NuMark Credit 

Union accepted donations 

for the Wreaths Across 

America project, a nonprofit 

501 (c)(3) organization, 

that annually lays 

wreaths at more than 300 

locations throughout the 

United States, Puerto Rico 

and 24 overseas cemeteries. 

NuMark was pleased 

to be able to provide 426 

wreaths to honor veterans 

and their families. 

Northern Illinois Food Bank 

NuMark Credit Union 

also supports the Northern 

Illinois Food Bank, 

a nonprofit organization 

dedicated to solving hunger. 

For every dollar donated, 

Northern Illinois 

Food Bank is able to provide 

$8 worth of groceries 

to those in need. To date, 

NuMark has donated more 

than $16,750, sponsored 

mobile food truck events 

and teams of volunteers 

have packed thousands of 

pounds of food at its Distribution 

Center.

Jack Gibbons Gardens all about traditions, not trends 

Jack Gibbons Gardens 

does not follow trends. 

Diners are not going 

to witness Happy Hours 

or Margarita Mondays at 

Jack Gibbons. 

That is because Jack 

Gibbons focuses on what 

really matters: great food 

and even better company. 

The restaurant reportedly 

has customers who say 

they have not been there 

for 25-30 years but come 

back and it is just the way 

they remember it. 

Jack Gibbons Gardens 

— or Gibbons, as the 

regulars call it — opened 

in 1922 as a speakeasy. 

Although times have 

changed drastically since 

then, the restaurant itself 

has not. From the 

red leather booths to 

the wood-paneled walls, 

Jack Gibbons is truly 

timeless. 

In a time where chain 

restaurants are on every 

corner, Gibbons has become 

even more special 

and unique. From the second 

a diner sits and is instantly 

delivered delicious 

warm bread, three-bean 

salad and coleslaw, before 

even a glance at the menu, 

it is easy to know one is 

about to have one of the 

STEAKS •CHOPS •PRIME RIB 

SEAFOOD•CHICKEN •RIBS 

best meals of his or her 

life. From surf and turf to 

fried chicken, Gibbons has 

something to satisfy any 

craving. 

Gibbons has been described 

as a “generational 

place” that sees everyone 

from grandfathers and fathers 

to their grandchildren 

who dine there. 

A secret to that success 

is that the restaurant’s staff 

does not experience the 

type of turnover seen in 

some chain restaurants. Its 

employees have worked 

there for years, striving 

for a “Cheers” vibe 

with which the bartender 

knows the customers, 

what they’re having, and 

the friends they bring with 

them.

Tips for tidying up finances 

StatePoint Media 

The cultural phenomenon 

sparked by professional organizing 

consultant Marie Kondo has 

motivated millions worldwide 

to declutter. While cleaning out 

a closet and making a financial 

plan may be two very different 

things, tidying up one’s finances 

can also “spark joy.” 

A Certified Financial Planner 

can help people commit to 

a plan that helps them take control 

of their spending, providing 

them with confidence today and 

a more secure tomorrow. 

Here are nine ideas to get 

started 

1. Write down financial goals 

and post them somewhere 

prominent, such as the fridge. 

These can be small goals, like 

“Bring lunch to work three 

days a week,” or bigger goals, 

like “Pay off student loan.” 

Enjoy Resturant-Quality 

Foods... At Home! 

2. Calculate your net worth to 

get an overall picture of your 

financial standing. Your net 

worth is everything you own 

minus everything you owe. 

3. Update, or create, a budget 

showing what money is coming 

in and what’s going out. 

Make sure it’s not in the red, 

meaning you’re spending 

more than you’re earning. 

4. Consider opening a Christmas 

club-type savings account to 

pay for big-ticket personal expenses. 

Originally pioneered 

during the Great Depression, 

Christmas clubs were financial 

accounts people added 

cash to throughout the year. 

They then used these savings 

to buy holiday gifts, helping 

to avoid the holiday spending 

“hangover.” You can create 

your own by automating savings 

each month, ideally in 

an interest-bearing account. If 

you save $75 a month, you’ll 

have $900 over the course of 

a year — or even more, if you 

earn interest. 

5. Check your credit report. With 

Credit Karma, you can check 

your credit reports from TransUnion 

and Equifax for free 

weekly. Additionally, you can 

check your report from each of 

the three main credit bureaus 

once a year for free with annualcreditreport.com. 

6. Set a deadline to pay off credit 

cards in full. This will help 

motivate you to take control of 

your debt. 

7. Rebalance your 401(k) about 

once a year to see if you are 

out of balance from your 

original goals. For example, 

if your allocation was 60 percent 

stocks and 40 percent 

bonds, but stocks had a good 

year, you might now have a 65 

percent stocks and 35 percent 

bonds allocation, so this will 

have to be rebalanced. 

8. Increase your savings plans. 

This could be your employer 

plan at work, your own emergency 

fund, or both. Consider 

raising your contribution by 1 

percent a year. 

9. Meet with a CFP professional. 

If you haven’t begun planning 

for retirement or tying your 

financial goals to your life 

goals, there’s no better time 

than now to start. You can find 

a CFP at letsmakeaplan.org. 

As you put your belongings 

in order, consider your finances. 

Simple measures can help you 

tidy up your finances.

Women’s Healthcare of Illinois expands midwifery program 

Building trusting relationships and lifelong 

connections are the driving forces 

behind Women’s Healthcare of Illinois, 

and with the recent expansion of the midwifery 

program, better birth outcomes 

and overall care have come to Chicago’s 

south suburbs. 

“I strive every day to provide evidencebased 

care to my patients and to help them 

make the best decisions that they can,” 

said Beth Helme-Smith, the program’s 

nurse midwifery service director. 

With that focus on education, Helme- 

Smith’s team of dedicated nurse midwives 

has made personalized care a priority, 

and the results continue to speak for 

themselves. 

Studies have shown equal or better outcomes 

for women and babies compared to 

traditional care, including 19% lower risk 

of infant death during delivery, 33% lower 

risk of infant death in the first month 

of life, and decreased incidence of lowbirth-weight 

babies. 

“We provide longer-than-typical visits 

with our midwives, and we discuss 

individual preferences and tailor care to 

fit the needs of every person who walks 

through our doors,” said Dr. Ken Finkelstein, 

founder of Women’s Healthcare of 

Illinois. “I want to thank Advocate South 

Suburban Hospital for working with us to 

provide the first comprehensive midwife 

delivery experience in the south suburbs.” 

The midwives at Women’s Healthcare 

of Illinois are considered “full-scope” 

because they care for a client throughout 

the span of her life, offering both lifelong 

gynecologic and pregnancy care. And to 

make the experience even better, Women’s 

Healthcare of Illinois will be partnering 

with local doulas for mothers that 

want added support before, during, and 

after birth. 

“I love that at each birth a family is 

born, not just a baby,” Helme-Smith said, 

adding that she loves watching the transformations 

that birth brings to people and 

their relationships. “It is truly an honor for 

us to be invited into such a sacred experience.” 

The practice is a collaborative model of 

care. The dedicated, highly skilled team 

provides routine obstetric and gynecological 

care to women of every age, as well 

as women who may have more complex 

needs, including post-menopausal changes 

can affect a woman’s quality of life in 

unexpected ways. Women’s Healthcare 

of Illinois features MonaLisa Touch, a 

painless and minimally invasive laser 

treatment for vaginal rejuvenation that 

has helped millions of women who are 

silently suffering and unable to undergo 

other treatment options. 

“Our patients come first in everything 

we do,” Finkelstein said. “We will continue 

to strive to better serve our communities 

both in the south suburbs and Northwest 

Indiana.”

Tips to protect skin from the sun 


Think you’re doing enough to protect 

your skin from the sun? Don’t be so sure. 

Experts say that many people assume their 

sun protection routine is sufficient when it’s 

not. 

“While summer is an excellent reminder 

that sun protection is a vital component of 

health and wellness, it’s actually necessary 

all year round and under circumstances you 

may not realize,” said Florida-based dermatologist, 

Dr. Richard C. Kirkpatrick. 

Here are a few things to keep in mind 

• Make-up may not be enough: If your 

makeup contains SPF 15, don’t assume 

you’re covered. Luckily, there are sun 

protection options today that leave a 

matte finish and won’t mess with your 

cosmetics routine. For example, an easyto-apply, 

clear matte finish layer of broadspectrum 

protection under your makeup, 

such as Ocean Potion Face Zinc SPF 50, 

will add needed protection while nourishing 

skin. 

• Think in all-day terms: Many people mistakenly 

believe they receive most of their 

sun exposure from going to the beach. It’s 

all too easy to underestimate the damage 

to skin from daily incidental sun exposure, 

which accumulates and prematurely 

ages skin. Whether you’re driving and 

catching rays through the window, or 

walking the dog in the morning, be mindful 

that you’re getting sun exposure and 

take necessary precautions. 

• Think in all-year terms: Again, summertime 

does provide a visceral reminder 

of the importance of sun protection and 

is an excellent time of year to develop a 

sun protection habit, but don’t let this be 

the only time of year you think about protecting 

skin. Take a cue from the summer 

you, and apply sun protection all year. 

• Make it easy: One of the toughest aspects 

of applying sun protection is remembering 

to do it. But if it’s with you, you’ll use 

it. Toss some in your purse or bag. A good 

portable option is Ocean Potion Dab-On 

Spot Stick SPF 50, which provides onthe-spot 

broad-spectrum protection in an 

oil-free formula, and like all Ocean Potion 

products it is enriched with deep-sea 

minerals, seaweed, algae extracts, aloe 

vera, and antioxidant vitamins B, C and E 

to replenish and nourish your skin. 

• Like your choice: Doing the right thing for 

your skin shouldn’t be a chore or create 

different skin care issues. So be sure you 

like your choice of sun protection. Look 

for options that won’t clog pores, are 

lightweight and offer easy application. 

• Take care of yourself and the planet: Oxybenzone 

and octinoxate are chemical ingredients 

used in certain sun protection 

that are considered to be harmful to coral 

reefs. But you can select a sunscreen like 

Ocean Potion Sport SPF 50 that’s oxybenzone- 

and octinoxate-free and not 

tested on animals, a win-win for you and 

the planet. With no parabens, PABA, or 

retinyl palmitate, it offers a lightweight, 

non-greasy menthol formula with a cooling 

sensation. 

From poolside and beachside bathing to a 

walk around the block, this summer, create 

a daily sun protection routine that you take 

with you everywhere you go.

Mill Pond Dental Group helps patients maintain oral health 

Dr. Eric Young knew he wanted to be 

a dentist after growing up in Panama and 

seeing the need for good dentistry. 

“In a third-world country you see how 

important dentistry is and how bad it is,” 

Young said. “Since I was in high school, I 

knew I wanted to work in dentistry to help 

people with their oral health.” 

And after going to Loyola University 

for an undergraduate degree, Northwestern 

University for his master’s and Marquette 

for a doctorate in dental science, 

he began his own practice at Mill Pond 

Dental Group in Mokena. 

Mill Pond Dental Group is a general 

dental office that provides preventative 

care, such as general cleaning, to advance 

services, such as full-mouth rehabilitation. 

After more than a year at Mill Pond 

Dental Group, Young wants to help patients 

learn and practice preventative 

health care. 

“It is important not to put off your dental 

work because then it becomes more 

expensive and becomes more involved,” 

Young said. “As dentists, we are pretty 

good at fixing things, but I want to shift 

that focus to a preventative point of view, 

rather than a fixing-it point of view.” 

Young said many times people wait 

until they have a problem to come in for 

dental work, when they should come in 

regularly so they can keep up good health. 

One of the biggest keys to maintaining 

healthy teeth and gums is to make an appointment 

at the dentist every six months 

for checkups and cleanings. 

Young suggests people should begin 

seeing a dentist when they begin getting 

teeth, which is in the first year of life. 

The first visit at Mill Pond Dental 

Group will always start with a comprehensive 

exam. During a comprehensive 

exam, Mill Pond Dental Group will take 

a series of X-rays to check everything 

from gum health to tooth health. After 

the exam, Young will review results and 

come up with a plan of action for patients. 

“After the X-rays we will establish what 

your needs are and how often you should 

come in,” Young said. “For any patient, 

regardless of the condition, a comprehensive 

exam is always a good place to start. 

We will help create a customized plan for 

you.” 

Young also noted Mill Pond Dental 

Group is equipped with a full digital office, 

enabling staff to use digital X-Rays, 

which produce less radiation than traditional 

X-rays. 

Mill Pond Dental Group also has CT 

scan machines that produce 3D X-rays 

to provide better diagnoses and treatment 

plans. 

The staff at Mill Pond Dental Group 

also helps patients maintain good oral hygiene 

by providing at-home oral hygiene 

care and nutrition tips. 

“We can always give pointers on how 

you can improve oral hygiene and give 

you tips on other oral hygiene instruments 

to keep your mouth nice and clean,” 

Young said. “Nutrition is also important. 

We can look at the type of diet you have 

and see how it is affecting your gums and 

teeth.” 

Mill Pond Dental Group prides itself on 

putting the patient first. 

“The patient experience is the number 

one, most important thing for us,” Young 

said. “We always put our patients first 

from the moment you call our office to 

the moment you step into the office and 

the moment you leave the office.” 

Young said communication is also essential. 

Patients can text the office and the 

messages go directly to Young. He is also 

regularly available by email or phone. 

“I make myself available to talk on the 

phone with patients directly,” Young said. 

“Personalized care is huge.” 

Mill Pond Dental group also offers patients 

a “comfort menu” to choose from 

during visits. The menu includes items 

such as headphones, aroma therapy, blankets 

and neck pillows to help enhance the 

patient experience.

Studies show hearing loss in women tied 

to quality of life, other health conditions 

Men and women share 

many of the same health 

concerns. Many of these 

health issues are similar, 

but as far as hearing health 

goes, South Suburban 

Hearing Health Center has 

identified some differences 

between them. 

Even though men are 

twice as likely to experience 

hearing loss than 

women are, the ties hearing 

loss in women have to 

other medical conditions 

are very unique. 

Osteoporosis: According 

to the National Osteoporosis 

Foundation, there 

are 10 million people in 

the United States with the 

condition, and 8 million 

of them are women. As 

women approach menopause, 

their bodies produce 

less estrogen. The 

estrogen hormone protects 

the bones, so when women 

stop producing as much, it 

leaves those bones more 

vulnerable. 

According to research 

published in the Journal 

of Clinical Endocrinology 

and Metabolism, those 

with osteoporosis are 76 

percent more likely to develop 

sudden cochlear sensorineural 

hearing loss. 

Pregnancy: Even 

though rare, South Suburban 

Hearing has seen 

sudden hearing loss due to 

pregnancy. Scientists hypothesize 

this is caused by 

changes in the cardiovascular, 

hematological and 

endocrine system, affecting 

the circulation in the 

cochlea. 

Menopause: Decreased 

levels of estrogen may 

play a role in hearing loss 

among menopausal women, 

according to Swedish 

researchers. Women 

who do not take hormone 

replacement therapy are 

more likely to have poorer 

hearing. 

Depression: Depression 

is a condition that 

affects more than 19 million 

American adults. According 

to Mental Health 

America, women experience 

depression at twice 

the rate of men due to developmental, 

genetic, hormonal 

and societal issues. 

It occurs most frequently 

in women between the 

ages of 25-44, but research 

shows hearing loss is associated 

with depression particularly 

among women. 

Diabetes: Those with 

diabetes are about twice as 

likely to have hearing loss, 

especially if the diabetes is 

not controlled with medication. 

Eleven percent of 

women in the U.S. are affected 

by diabetes. 

Hearing health is directly 

related to overall health 

and well-being, and it’s 

great that women are also 

more likely to seek help 

for their hearing health. 

Hearing aids have been 

shown to help cognitive 

function and enhance quality 

of life.

Get to a healthy weight with Weight No More 

Weight No More Orland 

Park is taking a 

fresh, healthy approach to 

weight loss and maintenance 

of healthy weight. 

Unlike other programs or 

diets, Weight No More is 

a medically supervised approach 

to help individuals 

get to their ideal weight, 

and help them stay there. 

Dr. Susan Rife and her 

team work with individuals 

to evaluate their specific 

health and nutritional 

needs, using things such 

as a state-of-the-art body 

composition analyzer to 

customize a program to 

their specific biological 

needs. 

“We work with our 

weight maintenance patients 

from a sciencebased 

medical perspective, 

not from the latest diet or 

exercise fads,” said Rife, 

owner of Weight No More 

Orland Park. “One of biggest 

advantages of seeing 

a medical professional for 

weight loss and maintenance 

is that we can help 

you cut through the clutter 

and confusion of fad diets 

that seem to pop up every 

day.” 

There are other distinct 

differences to a medical 

weight loss program, too. 

Only a medical professional 

can design a plan 

for individuals that includes 

medication, and 

prepare and clear patients 

for weight loss surgery 

should they and their provider 

decide that surgery 

would be the best option. 

Medical professionals also 

emphasize overall health, 

rather than strictly weight 

loss, with a custom-made 

program for individuals. 

“There have been vast 

improvements in safety 

and efficacy in the past few 

years in both weight loss 

medications and surgical 

techniques,” Rife said. 

The process is very 

straightforward, and 

Weight No More keeps it 

simple to help individuals 

stay on track. An initial

MEDICALLY SUPERVISED WEIGHT MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS WITH YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER! 

visit is a dedicated 30-minute 

appointment for a patient 

and his or her medical 

provider to discuss his 

or her questions, concerns 

and goals, and ultimately 

devise an individualized 

plan together that suits the 

patient best. 

A new patient with Rife 

also gets an initial physical 

as part of the first visit, to 

help the patient’s medical 

providers understand the 

patient’s specific needs. 

“Obesity is a major problem 

in our country,” Rife 

said. “And many chronic 

medical conditions are a 

result of poor diet and low 

physical activity.” 

The medically based 

Weight No More approach 

includes advice and counseling 

on diet and physical 

activity, and can include 

medication. In some cases, 

surgery might even be 

the best option; however, 

many studies now show 

that a reduction of just 10 

percent of weight can have 

a major impact on a person’s 

health.

Publisher 22CM’s expo 

brings women together 

for fun, inspiration 

Will O’Brien 

Freelance Reporter 

Every year, 22nd Century 

Media aims to make its Lady - A 

Women’s Expo event bigger and 

better. 

And this spring’s Lady is both 

of those things — 10,000-squarefeet 

of exposition space has been 

added; more than 127 vendors 

have reserved booths; and organizers 

are expecting record attendance. 

All of the food, fashion, 

fitness and lifestyle fun attendees 

have come to expect will 

be there, too, in ample measure 

from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, 

April 27, at the Tinley Park Convention 

Center, 18451 Convention 

Center Drive. 

But Heather Warthen, the publishing 

company’s chief events 

officer, also set out with another 

aim this time around: female empowerment. 

That is why, in addition to 

cooking demonstrations and 

fitness instruction, the expo’s 

stages are to host several notable, 

inspiring speakers. 

“I really wanted to make it my 

goal this year to include some 

great, inspiring messages for 

women,” Warthen said. “And 

we wound up with a fantastic 

group.” 

The speakers will include Rachel 

McCurdy, who will discuss 

the success of The Talking Shirt, 

her Frankfort boutique, and its 

recent distribution deal with Von 

Maur department stores. Tracy 

DeGraaf, known as the Laugh 

Anyway Mom, will be back 

with her “Life Happens Laugh 

Anyway” program. And at noon, 

Bridget Pettis, the assistant coach 

of the Chicago Sky, will speak 

about her pioneering career as a 

WNBA player and manager. 

The main stage also is to feature 

a mom-centric fitness demo, 

yoga and George Mitchell, of

Mitchell’s Flowers & Events, 

performing flower arrangements 

to music. Several event attendees 

will go home with arrangements, 

Warthen said. 

The cooking stage is to host 

culinary professionals representing 

a range of cuisines. 

As usual, a number of vendors 

will be giving out freebies, while 

DIY Sign Party and Art a la Carte 

will offer expogoers creative opportunities 

in the form of carved 

wooden signs and hand-painted 

wine glasses. 

The event also is to feature a 

blood drive organized by Vitalant 

and a dress drive with It’s All 

About the Dress: Pay It Forward. 

“Anything that’s a formal 

dress, they’ll take that day,” 

Warthen said. “They end up 

giving it to someone in need. 

If you’ve been sitting on that 

bridesmaid’s dress, hoping you’ll 

wear it one day, just bring it in. 

The dress drive is a great fit for 

our event.” 

Vendors, meanwhile, will run 

the gamut from soaps and spas to 

jewelry and crafts, acupuncture 

and dance lessons to financial 

advisement, self-defense, homeremodeling, 

health care, travel 

and more. 

This marks the sixth edition 

of the expo, 22nd Century Media’s 

longest-running and largest 

event. Last year, 22CM held both 

Lady and a scaled-down Ladies 

Night Out, which proved such a 

success that the company is holding 

four Ladies Night Out events 

later this year (June 13, Aug. 8, 

Oct. 3, Dec. 5). 

The concept seems to have 

clicked with the women of the 

southwest suburbs, Warthen said. 

“Especially if you’re a mom, 

you don’t get that night or that 

day out all that often,” she said. 

Last year’s Lady drew more 

than 1,500 guests, and Warthen 

said she expects to surpass those 

figures this year. The event, she 

said, is purposely held shortly 

before Mother’s Day. 

“You can get a jump on Mother’s 

Day shopping,” she said. 

Whether through shopping, 

socializing or offering new perspectives 

on juggling life’s demands, 

the event’s ultimate goal 

remains the same, Warthen said: 

bringing women together for a 

fantastic day.

Breast cancer screening: New doctor recommendations to know about 


Breast cancer is the most common 

cancer in women and the 

fourth leading cause of cancer 

death in the U.S. Annual mammograms 

have been widely promoted 

for women; however, experts say 

that for women with an average 

risk for breast cancer who don’t 

have symptoms, exams should 

be administered strategically, as 

screening too frequently can do 

more harm than good. 

In a recent evidence-based 

guidance statement published in 

“Annals of Internal Medicine,” 

the American College of Physicians 

says that average-risk 

women with no symptoms and 

who are between the ages of 50 

and 74 should undergo breast 

cancer screening with mammography 

every other year. 

ACP says that beginning at age 

40, average-risk women without 

symptoms should discuss with 

their physician the benefits, 

harms and their personal preferences 

of breast cancer screening 

with mammography before the 

age of 50. 

About 20 percent of women diagnosed 

with breast cancer over 

a 10-year period will be overdiagnosed 

and likely overtreated. 

Overdiagnosis means a woman 

is diagnosed with a breast cancer 

that would not have made 

her sick or led to her death if not 

diagnosed or treated. Therefore, 

finding this cancer is not of clinical 

benefit to the woman. 

Screening guidelines — such 

as the age to start and discontinue 

mammography, intervals 

between mammograms, and 

the role of alternative screening 

methods — have varied among 

organizations, complicating decisions
