Who says healthcare professionals can't have a little Halloween fun? Across Oswego Health, our teams traded scrubs and office attire for cowboy boots, video game adventures, and childhood favorites as staff showed off their creativity this Halloween!

From a legendary Dolly Parton look-alike to an action-packed Mario crew, a toy-filled Toy Story team, and plenty of other spooky, silly, and spectacular costumes, our employees proved they know how to bring the fun while continuing to care for our communities.

A huge thank you to everyone who dressed up, joined the festivities, and helped make this Halloween one to remember. We may save lives year-round, but once in a while, it's fun to save Halloween too! 🎃✨

Costumes were high. Spirits were higher. And yes... somewhere around Oswego Health, Mario probably found a few extra coins. 🍄⭐

💗 A Journey of Fight, Grit and Hope

When Jennifer received the call confirming she had breast cancer, her life changed in an instant.

Thanks to regular mammograms, early detection and the support of family, friends and colleagues, Jennifer faced one of the most challenging chapters of her life with strength, resilience and hope.

Throughout her journey, her team at Oswego Health stood beside her every step of the way, encouraging her to put her health first, attend appointments and focus on healing. Their support reminded her that she didn't have to face cancer alone.

Now, she's sharing her story to encourage others to make their health a priority, keep up with recommended screenings and never ignore changes in their bodies.
"Don't put off your screening."

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, take a moment to schedule the appointment you've been putting off, check in on a loved one and remember that early detection can save lives.
