October is Physical Therapy Month — the optimal time to learn about rehabilitative services before you need them. Physical therapy is wide-ranging, making it more a case of when you’ll interact with the service versus “if.”

A large contingent of UHS staff members turned out Oct. 13 for the 2024 edition of the “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer” walk at Otsiningo Park in Binghamton.  

Every year in October, people nationwide honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The annual campaign educates people on the prevalence of breast cancer, the importance of scheduling mammograms, early detection and the lasting impact of a diagnosis. This October, Sue Roma, an Endicott native, sister, wife, mother, grandmother and breast cancer survivor is now living life cancer-free.
