Last week, providers from across western North Carolina gathered at the historic Balsam Mountain Inn for a regional medical staff event hosted by Harris Regional Hospital, Haywood Regional Medical Center, and Swain Community Hospital.

The evening featured an engaging and thought-provoking presentation from Eric P**n, MD, MPH, FACMI, Chief Health Information Officer for Duke Health, who shared cutting-edge insights on how artificial intelligence is shaping the future of medicine. Drawing on lessons from decades of experience with electronic health records, Dr. P**n offered a compelling look at how technology can enhance clinical decision-making and improve patient care.

The event served as a meaningful opportunity for hospital-employed and independent providers to come together, exchange ideas, and celebrate the shared mission of advancing healthcare across western North Carolina.

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month, and at Swain Community Hospital we’re highlighting how early screening can make a real difference.

🔍 Lung cancer often shows no symptoms until it’s advanced. Using a low-dose CT scan (LDCT) can detect it earlier, when treatment is most effective.

📌 Take the first step with our Lung Health Assessment:
🔗 www.myswaincommunity.com/health-risk-assessment/lung-health

Then, talk with your primary care provider about whether screening is right for you. Don’t have a provider? We can help. Call 844.414.DOCS to connect with one today.

Let’s make this month count by protecting lung health across our community.
