The Public Relations Manager for Floyd Atrium Health Care, Dan Bevels, and Systems Director of Imaging Services and Director of the Breast Center at Floyd, Aimee Griffin recently joined WEIS Radio morning show host Jerry Baker for yet another edition of “Live Well Cherokee”, and their conversation centered on new, life-saving technology now available right here in own our back yard.
And of course time is of the essence in medical situations especially when it comes to something that can literally mean life or death – and regarding lung cancer, that can’t be stressed strongly enough.
The hospital is seeking out those that may have an increased risk for being in danger, and you may be surprised at what qualifies you to be considered in the “danger zone” – it may be far less than you think:
The specialists will be glad to set up an appointment to further explain the process of what happens, treatment options, and much, much more. Ms. Griffin shared a wealth of information regarding early detection and healthy living options during that latest “Live Well Cherokee” episode – and you can hear that interview in its entirety, simply click on the link below:
