Make Your Home 'Pop' With A Fresh Front Door Sprucing up a house shouldn't require significant money or time commitment. Whether done in a classic color or upgraded to a punchier hue, a freshly painted front door can greatly enhance any home’s curb appeal, often for far less money than alternative renovations. "Changing the color of your front door can change the whole look of your home," said Kim Scappaticci, design director at Wallauer's Design Center. "Think about using a bright, rich color, similar to adding a scarf to a black and white outfit. The scarf becomes the statement that makes the outfit stand out." …

Take Your Lumps And Bumps Seriously: Know The Signs And Symptoms Of Sarcoma It’s natural to be concerned if you find a new lump or bump on your body. While the odds are that it’s nothing serious, there is a small chance a growth may be a sarcoma, a rare type of cancer that originates in bone and soft tissue. Incredibly uncommon -- sarcomas account for less than one percent of adult cancers and 15 percent in children -- the disease is often not recognized or caught early, a time when treatment is most effective. Stemming from the Greek word sarkoma, which means “fleshy growth,” sarcomas originate from the connective or supportive tissues in the body, and are typical…

Give The Gift Of Life At County-Wide Organ Donation Sign-Ups MOUNT KISCO, N.Y. -- With more than half a million new enrollees in 2016, New York has become one of the fastest-growing organ donation states in the country, but unfortunately only 30 percent of New Yorkers over age 18 have enrolled as organ donors – well-below the national average of 52 percent.

Help Your Child Stay In The Game By Avoiding Overuse Sports Injuries WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- As organized fall sports resume and young athletes once again return to the playing fields, complaints of knee and heel pain can become a common cry amongst growing children. According to the experts at CareMount Medical, the reasoning for this common pain is largely due to the normal growth process. "Between the ages of 9 and 14 years old, children go through a major spurt in which the growth of their long bones can create tension where the muscle tendons insert into the bones," said Dr. Traci Toll-Griffin, a pediatrician at CareMount Medical. "T…
