Kentucky Extension Homemakers   
The Kentucky Extension Homemakers Association (KEHA) is a volunteer organization that works to improve the quality of life for families and communities through leadership development, volunteer service and education.  The organization was developed in cooperation with the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service.  Across the state, County Extension Agents for Family and Consumer Sciences work closely with KEHA members and clubs to provide education programming and coordinate community activities.

Ovarian Cancer Screening Program
This screening is available to post menopausal women over the age of 50, or women over the age of 25 with a strong family history of ovarian cancer. Over 22,000 participants have received more that 1000 screens a month.

For more information and to schedule an appointment at the University of Kentucky, please phone 1-800-766-8279 or 859-323-4687.

Aluminum Tabs
We want to encourage everyone to continue to collect aluminum can tabs to support children with cancer.  Turn the tabs in any time of the year to the Mercer County Extension Office during regular office hours; once a year we take them to the recycling center for a check which we send directly to the Indian Summer Camp.
