The tragic loss of Brittany Murphy this weekend has shocked and saddened many. And at 32, her untimely death is a reminder that now may be the time to start taking care of your own health.
The CDC says the leading causes of death for women in Murphy’s age group (25-34) include unintentional injury (car accidents, etc.), cancer, heart disease, and suicide. With the right care, these can often be prevented. But many women do not receive the medical care they need because of costs. And as the recession lingers, the number of families going without only seems to be getting worse. Don’t give up – whether you’re looking for support, a specialist, or other health services – there is help available.
