🩵 Teal for prevention and awareness
Throughout January, teal lights glow across Via Christi St. Francis in recognition of Cervical Cancer Awareness Month.

🎗️ These lights shift colors each month to align with national health awareness efforts. Their purpose is to highlight important diseases, conditions and health risks, and to honor those whose lives are touched by them.

❕ You should know:
Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers. Regular screenings such as Pap tests and HPV testing can detect early changes long before cancer develops. The HPV vaccine also offers strong protection and significantly reduces risk when given at recommended ages.

🏥 Our commitment to care:
-Comprehensive cervical cancer support includes:
-Gynecologic oncology services
-Minimally invasive surgical options
-Chemotherapy and radiation therapy
-Nurse navigation and genetics counseling
-Pelvic floor therapy, pain management and Cancer Wellness rehabilitation
-Survivorship resources tailored to each patient’s physical and emotional needs

🩵 These teal lights serve as a reminder of the power of prevention, early detection and compassionate support for every person affected.

Today, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

His words continue to challenge and inspire us to look beyond ourselves and care for one another, especially those who are most vulnerable.

🫁 1,000 procedures. 1,000 lives touched.

🏥 Via Christi’s Lung Nodule Clinic has officially completed 1,000 procedures using the Ion robotic‑assisted system. This means Via Christi St. Francis is the first hospital in Wichita and south central Kansas to reach this achievement in the early detection of lung cancer.

🔵 The Ion system allows specialists to reach and biopsy lung nodules as tiny as 5–7 millimeters. In just one visit, doctors can collect tissue samples and check whether cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. This pairs seamlessly with Via Christi’s Lung Cancer Screening Program, which helps catch lung cancer earlier, when it’s most treatable.

🥼 At the Lung Nodule Clinic inside Via Christi St. Francis, patients meet with an entire care team — pulmonology, oncology, and surgical experts — all in one appointment. This coordinated approach can save patients weeks or even months compared to traditional referrals.

🚬 Did you know? Annual lung cancer screenings can reduce lung cancer deaths by up to 20%, according to the American Lung Association.
You may qualify for a screening if you:
• Are 50–80 years old
• Currently smoke or quit within the last 15 years
• Have a 20 pack‑year smoking history (2 packs a day for 10 years or 1 pack a day for 20 years)

⭐ Congratulations to the incredible teams who made this milestone possible, and to the patients whose courage inspires this work every day.
