November is Lung Cancer Awareness month. Lung Cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. Did you know smoking poses the greatest risk, but there are others such as exposure to radon and air pollution. Screening is available for high-risk individuals and has the potential to dramatically improve lung cancer survival rates.

Are you eligible for Lung Cancer screening? What can you do to improve your lung function and decrease your risk of developing Lung Cancer?  Please join us as our Lung Cancer expert from RRH, Dr. Mehul Patel, breaks down the complicated information regarding Lung Cancer and also sheds some light as to what researchers are doing to decrease lung cancer rates and improve outcomes.

This educational offering is meant for anyone with lungs! Let’s start the conversation and support those who are fighting this devastating disease.

Please join us in person in the Erdle Lounge from 12:15 – 1pm at the JCC.
