SHERBURNE – The Chenango Health Network’s Every Women Counts in Chenango County campaign made a special stop Wednesday at the Sherburne Adult Day Center to spread awareness of breast cancer among the registrants of the Crouse Community Center.

The presentation – offered by Chenango Health Network’s Lori Kemmerer – was meant to inform listeners of the dangers of cancer but also to impress upon them the preventability of those dangers through early detection.

“Our main goal is to make sure every women in Chenango County is getting screening for cancer because early detection does save lives,” said Kemmerer.

All of the Course adult day care centers in the area were invited to attend Wednesday’s presentation and 27 ladies, including staff and registrants, attended. A luncheon for the attendees was provided by Community Memorial Hospital in Hamilton.

“The Health Network receives grants through the state to give out informational gift packs and to teach people how to do self breast examinations,” explained Health Network’s Wendy Hinman.
