Cancer Services Program of the Finger Lakes Region

Save the date! New York State Dental Foundation is hosting a health clinic featuring dental, vision, and medical exams at Mt. Morris Central School District October 3 and October 4.

We would like to say a HUGE thank you to Amanda and her colleagues at Runnings Stores for their generous donation of over $1,300 to help fund cancer screenings and diagnostic care for local community members without health insurance.

Without their help, we would not be able to pay for essential healthcare services for people symptomatic for breast and colorectal cancer who are under the age of screening guidelines.

Remember that EARLY DETECTION saves lives!

Thank you, Runnings!

We were proud to partner with Strollin' for the Colon - Toni's Race to help coordinate creating new Main Street Goes Blue banners for Livingston County, New York! These banners are hung around the county during March for Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.

Thank you for funding the new and improved banners, Strollin' for the Colon!

Join us for this year's Toni's Race on September 12 at Mendon Ponds Park - https://www.strollinforthecolon.org/tonis-race/

Happy April Fools Day!

No tricks here! Just the truth👉 Getting screened for colorectal cancer could save your life!💙

💙Today is the FINAL day of Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month! 💙

We want to take this opportunity to tell you about Renee and her shop Artistic Hair Salon in Clifton Springs.

Renee decks her shop out in shades of blue each March to encourage shop visitors and passers-by to get screened for colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer can be found early and even PREVENTED with a screening.

So! If you find yourself on Main Street in Clifton Springs, take a moment to check out Renee's shop!

Thank you to all of our partners who helped spread awareness about colorectal cancer and the importance of getting screened, including our Livingston County, New York partners!

Maybe you saw this sign hanging in Nunda as part of Main Street Goes Blue! 💙

If you are turning 45 this year, congrats! You are now eligible for your colorectal cancer screening! It looks like you have some company. Let this be a reminder to speak with your healthcare provider this year about what screening option is right for you.
