Ohio ranks 6th for asbestos-related deaths. Older adults are learning more about cancers and other health risks that might affect them. Age is the most significant risk factor for developing cancer.
People 65 and older comprise 60% of all cancer patients. To raise awareness, we recently published a Seniors Guide to Cancer that covers topics like wellness tips, the importance of seeing a doctor, and preventive measures:
https://www.asbestos.com/cancer/senior-cancer-guide/
https://www.asbestos.com/treatment/
Since seniors make up around 80% of those diagnosed with mesothelioma and it takes anywhere from 20-50 years after exposure to occur, we have created a great mesothelioma guide as well where your community will be able to find at-no-cost services such as monthly online cancer support group sessions, on-staff doctors and nurses available to answer any medical-related questions, and patient advocates who work one-on-one with individuals to help them find local doctors, treatment centers, and support groups:

From First Energy:
As utility pole attachments such as cameras, banners and flags continue to gain popularity in many of our communities, Ohio Edison reminds the public that a formal approval process must be followed to ensure utility pole attachments, like cameras, are safe and legal.
Prior to attaching any object to Ohio Edison utility poles or equipment, the requestor must receive approval from the company to ensure the safety of residents and utility personnel. FirstEnergy’s pole attachment guidelines can be found here: Joint Use Policies (firstenergycorp.com)
Additionally, prior to connecting a device to Ohio Edison power lines, the requestor MUST apply for electric service for each specific location. Failure to do so creates major safety concerns and often results in accidental theft of electricity. Only Ohio Edison is authorized to perform work on its equipment for new service connection.
Entities interested in any attachments to Ohio Edison owned poles or equipment and/or establishing electric service for a device are encouraged to contact their Regional External Affairs representative to learn more or get the process started.
Safety is our top priority, and we look forward to continuing to work together to make our communities stronger and our customers lives brighter!
