Hearing you have a lung nodule can sound scary, but most are harmless. These small growths are often discovered by chance during imaging scans and usually form from old infections or inflammation, not cancer.

Still, regular monitoring is key, and early evaluation can make all the difference. Learn more here:

Hurricane Melissa has left parts of Jamaica devastated—homes destroyed, hospitals flooded, and families without food, clean water, or medical supplies.

Through our physician network, supply chain, and logistics partners, we are preparing to send critical medical supplies, clean water, and essentials directly to affected communities. But we can’t do it without you.

How You Can Help:
Donate: Monetary gifts help us purchase the most urgently needed items and ship them safely. Donations can be made by visiting: https://hubs.ly/Q03T-t-Q0

Give Supplies: We’re collecting non-perishable food, bottled water, first-aid items, and hygiene products for immediate distribution through our trusted partners on the ground.

Together, we can extend Care New England Health System’s mission far beyond our hospital walls—bringing healing, safety, and hope to families recovering from this disaster.
