September Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month

Ovarian cancer is one of the most serious cancers affecting women today, with more than 200,000 women diagnosed annually worldwide and over 150,000 succumbing to the disease each year. Ovarian cancer often goes undetected until it has spread within the pelvis and abdomen, making early diagnosis difficult and treatment less effective, resulting in lower survival rates. Increased awareness and education about the symptoms, risk factors, and the importance of early detection can significantly improve the chances of successful treatment and survival. Research and advancements in the prevention, detection, and treatment of ovarian cancer are crucial in reducing the impact of this devastating disease on women and their families. Support for women and their families who are affected by ovarian cancer is essential in helping them navigate their diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship journey. During this month, we recognize the strength and courage of those battling ovarian cancer, honor the lives of those lost, and renew our commitment to supporting research, awareness, and improved healthcare outcomes for all women.

Weather Alert – Flooding

A unique combination of a slow moving cold front and the remnants of hurricane Debby are increasing the chance of major flooding impacting many parts of New Jersey this week.  Tropical moisture is surging into the region today and tomorrow, leading to moderate to heavy rainfall and flooding from strong thunderstorms.  The rainfall and flash flooding potential for today and tomorrow is concerning by itself, and can lead to 2 to 5 inches of rain, but the impact of additional moisture from the remnants of Debby will further affect the area on Friday into Saturday. Grounds will likely be saturated and rivers/creeks/streams will likely be running high. Please take the necessary precautions to be safe during this storm.
