Each year, approximately 1,500 men and 650 women in New York are diagnosed with liver cancer, according to the State Department of Health. The liver is one of the most important organs in the body, so it's equally important that we each take care of ours. The liver stores nutrients, aids in digestion, and helps process the foods we eat.

You can reduce your risk of liver cancer by:
- Not smoking (or quitting if you currently do)
- Limiting alcohol use
- Getting vaccinated against hepatitis B
- Getting tested for hepatitis C and receiving medical care if you have it

Our physical therapy caregivers provide a variety of services to our patients and nursing home residents, including those who are post-surgery, recovering from an injury or treatment, or dealing with a condition that impacts their mobility, balance, or coordination. They help people regain function, reduce pain, and potentially prevent future injuries.

During this National , we want to give our PTs and PTAs a well-deserved shout-out! Thank you so much to PT teams across the network for their skill, patience, and the differences they make in the lives of their patients. Learn more: https://www.bassett.org/services/rehabilitation/physical-therapy

Dental Hygiene Month is coming to an end, so we are sharing a message of gratitude for our dental hygienists! They work at our family dentistry locations in Oneonta, Delhi, and Hamilton as well as our school-based health centers across the region.

Dental hygienists clean teeth, examine gums for signs of gingivitis, and perform other preventive dental services. They play a key role in keeping smiles healthy! We appreciate everything they do!
