$500 donated to Cancer Screening Partnership Women in Criminal Justice, an organization of about 300 criminal justice professionals from across the region, chose the Cancer Screening Partnership of Wayne County as a recipient of a $500 donation to help provide free mammograms, Pap tests and colorectal screenings to women with no medical insurance or inadequate medical insurance. These funds were raised at the criminal justice training day through donations made by criminal justice professionals from the eight correctional facilities within Wayne, Seneca, Cayuga and Chemung Counties (the Elmira Hub of the New York State Department of Correctional Services), as well as from the State Police, the Division of Parole, and other agencies. Every year these professionals come together to share ideas, experiences and attend workshops on various health and career related topics. Although not exclusive to women, the training day is designed to motivate, support and inspire women who work in various capacities in the criminal justice field. In 2007, the group chose to focus on helping women who do not have access to health care because they have no medical insurance. Besides making a donation to the Cancer Screening Partnership of Wayne County, similar donations were made to the Cayuga, Chemung and Seneca County Partnerships. All Partnerships throughout the state provide free breast, cervical and colorectal cancer screening, diagnostic and treatment services to men and women who are uninsured or underinsured. If you don't have medical insurance or are under-insured, call for more information and to schedule and appointment: 315.332.2255 or 1.800.854.8439. Copyright
