The Washington County Sheriff’s Department and the Washington Health System teamed up to unveil the newest vehicle in the Sheriff’s fleet. This vehicle is wrapped to drive cancer awareness in the community and is on display at the Women’s Health Center at 80 Landings Drive in South Strabane. Sheriff Tony Andronas said the idea came about from the graphics designer for the cars. His family was particularly affected recently and he donated his design talents to help Washington County in the effort of driving cancer awareness. Brook Ward, President and CEO of the Washington Health System stated that unveiling the car at the Women’s Health Center could not better drive the point that “everyone in their family has been touched by cancer in some way.” He is proud of their partnership between the Sheriff’s Department and the county. Ward also pointed out the programs available to cancer and breast cancer patients through the Washington Health System. The diagnostic center at the Women’s Heath Center has a Breast Navigator to help patients though their treatment. They have a palliative care team, surgical staff and the WHS/UPMC Hillman Cancer Center Radiation and Oncology Therapy Unit. New to the list is the Cancer Fit Program produced at the Cameron Wellness Center. It helps cancer patients build strength and energy during the treatment and recovery process. The Sheriff’s vehicle will be on display at the entrance to the Women’s Health Center through Thursday.
