November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month, an important time to remind ourselves how vital early conversations can be. Lung cancer is the most prevalent cancer in Kentucky, with the state having the highest rate of new cases and the highest rate of deaths nationwide - but prevention and early detection make a real difference.

For providers across our region, this month is a powerful opportunity to talk with patients about two key factors in our region: To***co use and radon exposure. While each is harmful on its own, their deadly effects are significantly compounded when combined.

If you're a local provider, recommending home radon testing to your patients has never been easier. Community members can borrow a home radon detector for FREE from the Rowan County Public Library!

Together, we can help reduce risk, support early detection, and encourage healthier futures for the communities we serve.
