Breast Cancer Awareness

PERTH AMBOY – Go Pink! The Perth Amboy Business Improvement District (BID) and its Executive Director June Hutchinson (center) recently hosted a Mix & Mingle business networking event at the Portuguese Manor Restaurant. Ms. Hutchinson said, “We joined together to honor breast cancer survivors and support people who are battling the disease today. Our second goal is to advocate for early detection through regular mammogram screenings and community-based wellness programs. We are also supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month – the annual effort to keep the dialogue going about this disease that strikes women and men.”  The evening included a presentation by Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey (Horizon BCBSNJ), and the organization’s Carol Brush, a health educator. Ms. Brush talked about making well-informed decisions about one’s health and reviewed useful guidelines for leading healthier and more fulfilling lives. The networking event and program was sponsored by the BID and Horizon BCBSNJ.
