Lung cancer claims the lives of 125,000+ Americans each year. Regular screening can help find it early when it is easier to treat, but only 1 in 10 people at a higher risk get screened. Join us in spreading the word, and in celebration of Lung Screening Day on Saturday November 8th, Gateway Hancock Health diagnostic imaging will be open and taking lung screening appointments. Meet the below criteria? Call your provider now and get an order for your screen. 🧡

Here are food banks in or just outside of Hancck County for anyone in need. All of these locations will also accept monetary donations, food donations, and donations of items such as paper goods, toiletry items, laundry items, and cleaning items. Many of our local schools also have “care closets” where non-perishable food items and other essential items are kept in supply for students in need and you can reach out to them directly to see what their needs are.
