“With Survivors, Always” is the theme of Domestic Violence Awareness Month 2026.

According to the CDC, roughly 43.5 million women and 20.7 million men in the United States have experienced physical violence, sexual violence, or stalking by an intimate partner during their lifetime. Behind every one of those numbers is a person whose safety and sense of worth was affected. Many survivors face real barriers to getting help.

Abuse is never the survivor’s fault, and everyone deserves safety, respect, and healthy relationships.

At Connect we listen without judgment, meet people with compassion, and help connect survivors with resources. Every survivor’s path is different, and support means honoring each person’s voice and choices.

Next up in our Dignity in the Details series is about hand washing!

Proper hand hygiene is one of the simplest and most effective ways to prevent the spread of infection, protecting patients and the staff caring for them. Every month we audit our own team on technique, timing, and education. The audits reinforce good practice and show us where to improve.

A simple practice, done consistently, is what a clean and safe environment actually looks like.

Knowing your body is part of caring for it. Taking time to notice how your breasts normally look and feel makes it easier to recognize a change worth discussing with a provider. A new lump, skin dimpling, a change in shape, or unusual discharge all deserve attention. Breast cancer affects both women and men, so this matters for everyone.

Screening needs vary with age, personal and family history, and other risk factors, so talk with your provider about whether screening is right for you and when it should start.

Care should never feel intimidating or out of reach. Call (701) 483-9353 to book a free consultation.

Our team attended the Dickinson Area Chamber of Commerce Rise and Lead: Women in Business event. The First Lady of North Dakota gave a keynote about pulling up a seat to the table and making room for your neighbor to pull one up too, which lands close to home for us. You will hear more of that theme at our Come to the Table Banquet in April 2027.

We also did “exercise snacks,” heard from a panel of local women running businesses, and came back with conversations already started. Thank you to the Chamber for building the kind of room where that happens.

October is both Domestic Violence Awareness Month and Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Two very different realities that invite us to ask the same question: How do we protect and care for the most vulnerable among us—including our mothers, sisters, daughters, and wives?

Domestic violence is a profound violation of human dignity. The promise to love, honor, and cherish should never become a life of fear, coercion, or harm.

A Breast Cancer diagnosis brings a different kind of suffering, threatening the health, security, and well-being of someone we love.

Friends, you know this: This is not the way it's supposed to be. Every woman, every person, is a beloved child of God, deserving of safety, compassion, and care.

At Connect Medical Clinic, we believe that even when life is not as it should be, no one should have to walk through hardship alone.

Our dignity-centered approach sees beyond a diagnosis, a circumstance, or a crisis to the whole person. We take time to listen, understand, and walk alongside you, connecting you with care and support that honors your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

You deserve to be nurtured and cherished. You were created for wholeness and health in your body. Women, when this world is hurting your heart; when you are facing a difficult season, concerned about your health, or simply longing to feel whole again, we invite you to call Connect Medical Clinic to schedule a free consultation. Let's begin a conversation about your health, your needs, and your next steps toward wholeness—mind, body, and spirit.

Grateful as always,

Tara Kelly Zettel, CEO
P.S. As you stand with women this month, and for dignity of those most vulnerable in our community, please consider making a gift today and investing in the lives of our mothers, sisters, daughters, and wives.

World Mental Health Day was October 10th, and its goal is to treat mental health with the same urgency as physical health.

That is built into how we work.🫶

During your consultation we ask how your mental health is doing, because it is not separate from the rest of you. It shapes how your body functions and how you move through a hard season. We offer support through a network of trusted referral partners, and we are glad to explore those options with you. 🤝

Second in our Dignity in the Details series, and this one is invisible from the waiting room.🔎
Our staff recently completed hands-on training on safeguarding protected health information. Real scenarios, practiced conversations, and a close look at the everyday workflows where privacy is either protected or quietly lost. Confidentiality is not a form you sign. It is a habit a clinic either builds or does not.

When you come to Connect, protecting your privacy is part of the care.🤍🤝
