Pink looks good on Rome. 🎀💗

Thank you to everyone who joined us at Truett’s Chick-fil-A in Rome and other locations for Pink Day! This tradition has brought our community together to raise awareness about breast cancer and the importance of lifesaving screenings.

Atrium Health Floyd and Harbin Clinic are proud to continue that commitment together, helping our community put breast health first.

Because when it comes to breast cancer, knowledge is power and early detection can save lives.

If additional testing is needed, our team provides quick access to advanced breast imaging and same-day biopsies so you can get answers and next steps sooner.

Don't put it off. Schedule your mammogram today, and encourage the women you love to do the same.

Early detection saves lives.

When Maribel drove past the Harbin Clinic Cancer Center years ago, she believed a cancer diagnosis meant there was no hope.

Today, she sees something very different.

Her journey began during a routine mammogram visit when she mentioned a concern she had noticed. Additional testing and a biopsy soon confirmed breast cancer. As a mother of three, she immediately feared the worst.

Everything changed after meeting her care team.

“I just wanted to know if I even had a chance,” she said.

Treatment included chemotherapy, surgery, radiation, immunotherapy and hormone-blocking medications. Through it all, her faith, family and support system helped carry her forward.

Today, Maribel's story and portrait are featured in the Faces of Hope gallery at the Harbin Clinic Cancer Center, where survivors inspire others facing cancer.

During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Maribel encourages women to keep up with screenings, pay attention to their bodies and remember that cancer is not always the end of the story.

Can you really die from a broken heart?

Most people understand that a heart attack or heart disease diagnosis can affect their physical health. What many don't realize is that it can also have a major impact on their emotional well-being.

Fear of another cardiac event. Anxiety about the future. Stress over treatment and recovery. Grief for the life they expected to live.

According to the American Heart Association, roughly 1 in 3 heart attack survivors experiences symptoms of depression, and many others struggle with anxiety, stress or other forms of psychological distress during recovery.

In this video, Dr. Maxwell Prempeh, cardiologist with Atrium Health Floyd and Harbin Clinic, explains the powerful connection between heart health and mental health, including why emotional stress can affect the heart and how conditions such as "broken heart syndrome" (Takotsubo cardiomyopathy) can mimic the symptoms of a heart attack.

When Carol noticed breast pain, she considered waiting until her next mammogram appointment.

"I thought I had strained a muscle," she said. But something kept telling her she needed to get it checked sooner. Family members and friends encouraged her not to wait.

The decision to schedule that appointment changed everything.

Carol learned she had Stage 3 HER2-positive breast cancer and began an aggressive treatment plan that included chemotherapy, surgery and radiation. Throughout treatment, support from her family, coworkers and community helped carry her through difficult days.

Today, Carol says cancer changed her perspective.

“Cancer has changed me. It makes you appreciate your family more. It makes you appreciate life.”

Carol is one of the survivors featured in the Faces of Hope gallery at the Harbin Clinic Cancer Center, where portraits and stories inspire patients and families facing cancer.

During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, her message is simple: pay attention to your body and don't ignore changes that concern you.

Warren Cancer Center to thank Harbin Clinic providers for the compassionate care they give cancer patients every day. The team showed its gratitude as well, presenting Chubb with a signed Breast Cancer Awareness Month shirt in appreciation of his support for the community.

Joann took advantage of warm days to clean out her garage, but as the temperatures heated up, the Cartersville resident found she was tiring more easily. On the hottest days, she sometimes felt a tightness in her chest.

“I didn’t have chest pains, I was just very, very tight chested,” she said.

She ultimately decided to talk to her doctor.

“I think it probably made my mind up for me, when I knew how I felt working in the conditions I was working under — in the garage, getting hot,” Boozer said. “I thought, ‘you need to go to the doctor and have this checked out.’”

Listening to her body and following that instinct was exactly the right call. Harbin Clinic’s Dr. Maxwell Prempeh is her cardiologist.

“Mrs. Boozer came to me with complaints of dizziness and fatigue, with no other symptoms,” said Dr. Prempeh. “Her calcium score was 889, placing her in the high-risk category for cardiovascular disease. Her cholesterol and blood pressure were controlled and a stress test indicated no issues.”

Due to the nature of her complaints, Dr. Prempeh ordered more tests and ultimately discovered three arterial blockages. Boozer received three stents in July and immediately started feeling better.

Boozer’s atypical symptoms are not uncommon to women with heart disease.

“We see in females that their symptoms don’t always present typically,” Dr. Prempeh said, “not the classic chest pain or crushing sensation.”

Heat and humidity exacerbated her symptoms.

“The heat will create extra exertion for you,” he said. That means patients should be aware of how they react to the heat.

“If you have heart disease and you are exerting yourself and feel more symptoms than usual, you should rest and seek cardiology attention," Prempeh said.

Now, Boozer is attending cardiac rehabilitation, following her doctor’s orders and returning to the things she enjoys.

“I’m on the go from the moment I wake up until I go to bed. I plan to continue to be on the go,” she said.
