Oswego Health

The physicians and staff of Oswego Health will take part in activities throughout October that promote national Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Perhaps the most important action community members can take is to encourage the women they know to undergo a mammogram.

Linda Tyrell of Harbor Towne Gifts in Oswego presented Oswego Hospital Auxiliary President Julie Burns with a donation of women’s accessories for the auxiliary’s Annual Fall Bazaar, which will be held October 12 and 13 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day in the hospital lobby.

On October 19 from 5 to 8 p.m., Oswego Health will hold its second annual Power of Pink event which will bring attention to the issue of breast cancer at the Fulton Medical Center, 510 S. Fourth St.

To be held October 12 and 13 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day in the hospital lobby, 110 W. Sixth St., the event features homemade baked goods, and the opportunity to purchase tickets to win some other great prizes including the American Doll, Leah; a collection of women’s accessories from Harbor Towne Gifts, a KitchenAid stand mixer and a gift basket from JP Jewelers in Oswego.

Oswego Health joined a number of area health care providers as it participated in Huhtamaki’s Employee Health Fair. The event took place in the fitness center at Huhtamaki’s Fulton plant and offered Huhtamaki employees a wealth of information on healthcare.
