April is Public Health Month ...so we're taking an opportunity to spotlight the many services and programs offered by the Haywood County Health Department. The following article spotlights the Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Program.For years, Judy Burrell faithfully went to her physician to get an annual mammogram and blood work. But every year, she would ask herself if she could continue to keep taking the tests when there wasn’t an immediate medical problem.
“It got so expensive, I couldn’t afford to keep doing all that,” Burrell said. “I had to find another resource.”
That resource turned out to be the Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Program at the Haywood County Health Department. Funded by the federal Centers for Disease Control, the program provides funds annually for eligible low-income women between the ages of 50-64 to be screened for breast and cervical cancer and to receive follow-up referrals if the screening indicates more tests are needed. |

By Mary Ann Enloe
Chairman, Bicentennial Celebration I’m big on birthdays! When I was growing up in Hazelwood, and birthdays rolled around, my sisters and I would celebrate for a week. Well, in 2008 Haywood County is going to celebrate for a year! Our county turns 200 years old. My fellow commissioners have asked me to chair the county’s Bicentennial Celebration.
Dedicated volunteers have been helping plan since November 2006. There’s room for you and your ideas, because this is a party for the people, by the people. |
