Monday marks the 54th annual observance of Earth Day! This year’s theme, “Planet vs. Plastic” advocates for the widespread awareness of the health risks of using plastic items and most importantly, the importance of ending plastic pollution. Plastic can release toxic chemicals into our food and drinks, affect the air we breathe, and pose a huge threat for our health. To save our environment, we can work together to decrease the amount of plastic pollution and improve our air quality. ![]()

Lynne said, “I am proud to sit on the Board for the Rural Health Network of South Central New York. I knew about the Network from my previous position with BCMHD; but, I had no idea the complete range of programming they offered to rural communities. It’s a gold mine of an agency and I appreciate the opportunity to serve on a Board that is committed to addressing the disparities that rural areas face."
