Breast Cancer Support Groups in the Robinson-Moon Area

In honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, here's a list of breast cancer support groups in our region.

One in 8 American women and 1 in 1,000 American men will develop breast cancer at some point in their lives. It’s estimated that more than 2 million people are diagnosed with breast cancer and fight for their lives each year. Breast cancer is difficult to face alone—for both patients and their loved ones.

Three Injured in International Drive Crash

Three people were taken to an area hospital after suffering minor injuries.

Three people were injured just before noon today after a two-vehicle crash on International Drive.  One man sustained a minor head injury after his Hyundai Sonata collided with a Honda Civic as the vehicles exited westbound off International Drive onto Interstate 376 West.  The man was transported to Heritage Valley Sewickley following the crash. Two women in the Honda were also taken to Heritage Valley after complaining of chest pains.  Moon Police Cpl. Ray Gallagher said emergency officials at first thought they would have to extricate a female passenger from the Honda, but instead were able to slide her out of a door.  The intersection is now open to motorists.
