YWCA WHITE PLAINS & CENTRAL WESTCHESTERENCORE PLUS PROGRAMGrantee of the Year Award

Accepted by LORI STANLICK

Westchester County, often thought of as home to wealthy New Yorkers, has amuch more ethnically and socioeconomically diverse population. Too many ofthese residents lack access to the breast health care they deserve.

The Encore Plus Program of the YWCA White Plains & Central Westchester issaving lives by bringing outreach education and breast cancer screenings towomen who are rarely or never seen by a healthcare professional. These hard-to-find individuals include uninsured African-Americans, Latinas and new andundocumented immigrants. The program focuses on southern Westchester butserves the whole county.

“We know that undocumented women, women of color, vulnerable women, whohave never or rarely have been seen by healthcare providers, are in every part ofWestchester County, explained Lori Stanlick, Associate Executive Director of theYWCA White Plains & Central Westchester. “It’s our mission and passion to findthem and link them to care.”

Program staff visit over 100 sites in the county — churches, community centers,day treatment programs, ESL classes, food pantries, municipal and seniorhousing providers, and senior centers — delivering bilingual breast healtheducation and distributing Komen-approved materials tailored to African-Americans, Latinas and seniors.

Attendees learn about the importance of knowing one’s breast health history andwhy mammography is so vital. They are walked through the process, whichculminates in the scheduling of a screening appointment. Encore Plus has 350free annual screening slots with the Cancer Services Program (CSP) of HudsonValley, a state-funded breast and cervical cancer screening program.

Once the appointment is made, the patient is contacted and reminded of thedate/time of her screening a week in advance. This call also serves as anopportunity to assess the barriers that are preventing the woman from receivingcare. These calls have been extremely effective. Not one woman has missed herappointment.

The CSP directly contacts the patient about her screening results but also informsEncore Plus, allowing staff to follow up. Women with positive diagnoses receivepatient navigation services through the CSP.

The Komen Greater NYC grant has helped YWCA to hone the program by hiring afull complement of bilingual staff, as well as do research that allows it to find andserve the people who are in most need.

Known for her celebration of the exuberant, the embellishedand the over the top, Betsey Johnson has been rocking thefashion industry with her unique and original designs sincethe 1960s. Her commitment to remain true to her one-of-a-kind vision has afforded Johnson continued success in anindustry known for its fickleness. Her ability to change withthe times while keeping her designs pure has not goneunnoticed.

Betsey Johnson was born in Connecticut and spent herchildhood in dance classes. Her aspirations to be a dancerand love for costumes laid the foundation for her creativityand inspiration, which is still evident in her designs today. In

1964, Johnson entered the New York fashion scene by winning Mademoisellemagazine’s "Guest Editor Contest.” One year later, she landed the top designerposition for Paraphernalia, a clothing boutique that, at the time, housed the hottestyoung London designers.

What would soon become known as Johnson’s trademark look began itsformulations here — sexy silhouettes, hippie inspired flowing fabrics, whimsicaldetailing and most importantly, a fabulous fit.

In 2002, Johnson was diagnosed with breast cancer, underwent a lumpectomy andradiation. Since then, she has designed t-shirts and accessories to support breastcancer research and has been vocal about her own experience with the disease,raising awareness among women.

Betsey Johnson, both the woman and the label, is constantly moving forward andcontinues to keep a strong foothold in the fashion industry with no signs of lettingup anytime soon.
