Lung cancer often has no warning signs in its early stages—but early detection can save lives.

If you currently smoke or have a history of smoking, you may be at higher risk, even if you feel healthy. That’s why lung cancer screening matters.

At GRMC, we offer low-dose CT lung cancer screening—a quick, painless scan and takes just minutes to complete. No needles. No downtime. Just answers.

If something needs further attention, our team is here to guide you every step of the way—with compassion, urgency, and expert care you can trust. You are never alone in this. 💙

From the moment a patient is prepared for surgery to the moment they wake and begin recovery, our Anesthesia Nursing team is there—providing expert care, calm reassurance, and unwavering vigilance every step of the way. 💙

This Anesthesia Nurses Week, we stepped inside our PACU to hear directly from the nurses who do this work every day—what they do, why they love it, and why they choose to do it here at GRMC. Their answers say it all.

Our anesthesia nurses play a critical role in both pre-operative and post-operative care, ensuring patient safety, comfort, and smooth recovery during some of the most vulnerable moments in a patient’s journey. Their skill, teamwork, and dedication are a vital part of what makes surgical care at GRMC exceptional.

Thank you Laura, Shaira, and Erica for your heartfelt answers, and Si yu’os ma’åse to our Anesthesia Nursing team for the heart, precision, and pride you bring to your work—and for choosing to grow, serve, and care with us. 💙

Happy Anesthesia Nurses Week!
