Quitting to***co or va**ng is one of the most powerful steps Alaskans can take to protect their health, especially with lung cancer remaining the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in our state.😔

🫁“We used to think lung cancer only affected smokers. Today, up to 20% of people diagnosed have never smoked. Radon exposure, wildfire smoke, and secondhand smoke all play a role, especially in Alaska.” -Dr. Michael Green, AROC Radiation Oncologist

🎗November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month. Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death in both Alaska and the United States, but it doesn’t have to be. When found early, lung cancer is one of the most treatable cancers.

🩵A low-dose CT scan can detect lung cancer before symptoms appear. Early detection isn’t just medical, it’s personal. It saves lives.

Happy National Radiologic Technology Week!

In honor of National Radiologic Technology Week (NRTW), Healthworks sends our sincere thanks and deep appreciation to everyone working in the radiologic technology field, making valuable contributions to patient care. The NRTW 2025 theme—The Kaleidoscope of Radiologic Technology—celebrates the diverse practice areas and medical procedures within the radiologic technology field.

Fun fact: NRTW’s dates (November 2-8) align with Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen’s discovery of the X-Ray on November 8, 1895.

🩷This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re honored to revisit Christina's inspiring story of strength, hope, and healing, right here in Anchorage.🌸

🎗Christina’s journey reminds us that cancer care is about more than treatment, it’s about compassion, connection, and comprehensive support.

“At AROC, I did it all; Massage, Physical Therapy, I saw the Nutritionist, the Naturopathic Doctor, I even tried Acupuncture… I saw everybody, and they were all friendly and upbeat, and, when you’re not feeling that way yourself, that goes a long way.” - Christina Barron
