🎉✨Congratulations to Liana Shearen on being recognized as October's Moment of the Month! ✨🎉

A grateful patient shared this heartfelt story about Liana:

"Liana changed my life. During my first sessions with her, I was met with patience, kindness, and empathy. As I have worked with Liana, my life has taken a complete 180. My back is in the least amount of pain it has been since my issues began, I am at the healthiest weight I have ever been at, and I am able to do the things I love again. She went above and beyond in every way imaginable. I cannot thank her enough for where I am at today. Thank you for giving me my life back."

Lung Cancer Screening Saves Lives! 🫁🤍

In 2025, Grand Itasca teamed up with University of Minnesota researchers to help more people get screened for lung cancer, and it worked!

We are now screening well above the national average. During National Lung Cancer Month, we are asking for your help to reach everyone who could benefit.

If you’re 50–80 years old and have ever smoked, talk to your provider about lung screening. Even if you’ve quit, it’s important to make sure your care team knows when you quit and how much you smoked.

If you qualify, a low-dose chest CT scan is quick, painless, and covered by insurance. When lung cancer is found early through screening, it’s often curable.
