Grants Awarded to Support Women’s Health Initiatives
Three CHI Saint Joseph Health Foundations have been awarded more than $30,000 total in grants from Susan G. Komen Kentucky to support women’s health initiatives.
“We know that screenings can detect cancer early and help save lives,” said Leslie Buddeke Smart, CFRE, president, CHI Saint Joseph Health Foundations. “These grants from Susan G. Komen Kentucky allow us to extend the reach of our programs and touch even more lives of people who need these services.”
Saint Joseph Berea Foundation and Saint Joseph Hospital Foundation were both awarded funding for their “Yes, Mamm!” programs. Flaget Memorial Hospital Foundation received funding for “Flaget Breast HOPE,” which stands for Health Outreach, Prevention and Education.
Bike Lexington
Bike Lexington Family Fun Ride is September 28.

The event features giveaways, a bike polo demonstration, a Kids Rodeo bike course and a Slow Cycle.

The YMCA is offering Yoga in Triangle Park every Tuesday and Thursday morning at 6 am through August 31. Classes are open to the community. If bad weather, classes will be held at the High Street YMCA.
