Thank you to the Oswego Rotary Club and the Interact Club for your generosity and thoughtfulness in supporting the Lobdell Center for Mental Health. 💙

At Oswego Health, we are committed to caring for the whole person—beyond physical and mental health needs. Partnerships like this strengthen our ability to provide compassionate, community-centered care and ensure those we serve feel supported, valued, and seen.

We are thankful to have community partners like Rotary making a meaningful difference.

Sometimes you just notice when others are in need and a while back one of our Rotarians learned about a constant need for clothing at The Lobdell Center for Mental Health. For part of Mental Health Awareness month in May, Rotarians purchased those sizes needed most. They also had other clothing donations. The high school Interact Club wrote inspirational cards, to let those who are part of the program there know how much they all matter.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the U.S. The cancer often doesn't have any symptoms, so the only way to find it early is through screening—either with a digital re**al exam or a blood test called a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test. This decision tool focuses primarily on the PSA test, with or without the addition of other tests.

If you have any question, reach out to our urology team at oswegohealth.org/services/urology

Use this tool to help you ponder the pros and cons of prostate cancer screening. (3 min. read)

We're excited to share that we have been selected as a recipient of a CNY Community Foundation grant to support youth mental health services throughout our community.

Because of the incredible generosity of our sponsors, golfers, volunteers, and community supporters, the 39th Annual Oswego Health Foundation Golf Tournament raised more than $147,000 to support local healthcare.

These funds will help bring a new 3D mammography unit to our Central Square Medical Center, expanding access to advanced breast cancer screening for patients across Central New York. This technology will improve the detection of breast abnormalities, reduce false positives, lessen the need for additional screenings, and help ensure patients receive the same high-quality imaging services regardless of where they seek care.

As a nonprofit healthcare system, investments like these are made possible through the support of our community. Every dollar raised stays local, helping us enhance services, improve access to care, and invest in the health of our region.

This is what "We Care" looks like—neighbors, businesses, and community partners coming together to make a lasting impact on the lives of local patients.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this year's tournament such a tremendous success. ⛳💙
