Cambridge, NY November 8, 2011 — Every 17 seconds, someone is diagnosed with diabetes and 1 in 3 American adults is projected to have diabetes by 2050 unless steps are taken to stop this trend, according to the American Diabetes Association. They also advise that diabetes kills more people each year than breast cancer and AIDS combined. During this month of November, which is American Diabetes Month, the Cambridge Valley Rescue Squad would like to share information with the community about this disease currently affecting 26 million children and adults, with another 79 million at risk for developing Type 2 diabetes.
Cambridge, NY – October 24, 2011 — The Cambridge Valley Rescue Squad (CVRS) will be participating in the Halloween activities occurring at Cambridge Central School Saturday evening, October 29th, beginning at 5:00 PM.
