November is National Family Caregivers Month—a time to recognize those who care for loved ones facing health challenges. 🤝

For people with prostate cancer, one possible side effect of treatment is lymphedema, a painful buildup of lymphatic fluid that causes swelling—often in the legs or lower body.

Our own Dr. Pragnan Kancharla, medical oncologist and hematologist, encourages caregivers of those with lymphedema to stay informed and proactive. While there’s no cure for lymphedema, early recognition and daily care can significantly improve comfort and mobility.

You may have noticed a green glow shining on our hospital campus! 💚 We’re to support Operation Green Light, a nationwide campaign led by the National Association of Counties (NACo).

This campaign honors the service and sacrifice of our veterans, active-duty military members, and their families, not just on Veterans Day, but every day.

Why green? Green represents renewal, well-being, and hope. It sends a powerful message to our veterans: You are seen. You are appreciated. You are supported.

Join us by shining a green light this week to show solidarity with those who have served. Help us raise awareness of the challenges many veterans face as they transition back to civilian life.
