October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. ๐ Each year, the @pabreastcancer turns the capitol fountain pink to raise awareness and show support for every life that has been touched by breast cancer.
With the passage of Act 1 of 2023, ensuring that Pennsylvanians see no out-of-pocket costs for diagnostic breast imaging, the commonwealth has become a national leader in early detection for breast cancer. One in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and early detection has a 99% 5-year survival rate, so consistent mammograms are essential.

Last week, Connellsville honored Edwin S. Porter: a world-renowned film maker and visionary who revolutionized cinema with his groundbreaking techniques and storytelling. ๐ฅ๐
Connellsville Mayor Greg Lincoln declared September 6, 2024 as "Edwin S. Porter Day" in the city as Porter became the latest inductee to Fayette County Hometown Legends.
