PREVENTION
IS THE CURE
(PITC) a collaborative educational campaign brings focus on
the causes of disease rather than ways of coping with it once
diagnosed. PITC seeks to INCREASE public awareness of environmental
links to disease; GAIN support for the Precautionary Principle,
as it applies to public policy; URGE the public to demand more funding
for environmental health research and ENCOURAGE a "better safe than
sorry"
attitude toward personal lifestyle.

Spring 2005, HBCAC published this
book based on 1993-1998 breast health
survey results which helped determine the breast health status
in the township of Huntington. For the past decade,
HBCAC has been engaged in an ongoing effort to understand breast
cancer patterns in the Town of Huntington and completed its
townwide survey project in January 2001. At that time,
HBCAC released an epidemiological analysis of the survey data
and a series of maps depicting patterns in the community. These
maps have been display at local libraries, political events
and national conferences.
