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.😔
That’s why we’re proud to support Alaska’s To***co Quit Line, a program that connects Alaskans with free quit-coaching, ni****ne replacement therapy delivered right to your door, and the guidance you need to quit for good.
And through our partnership, the first 250 people who enroll in November will receive a $20 Subway gift card as an added boost to get started on their quit journey.
If you're ready to take the next step, visit AlaskaQuitLine.com or call 1-800-QUIT-NOW to enroll. Your health is worth it — and we’re here to support you every step of the way.🚭💙

😔Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in Alaska, but we can change that. The decision to quit smoking is one that only you can make. Quitting may not be easy, but you can do it with the right support. 🫁The American Cancer Society has amazing resources we want to share:
✅ First, Pick a Quit Date — November 20th, The Great American Smoke Out is a great one!
✅ Get free quit-support from the American Cancer Society Visit cancer.org/smokeout to start the journey.
✅ Encourage a friend or loved one to do the same
Together, we can create a future with healthier lungs and fewer lives lost to lung cancer right here in Alaska. It’s never too late to quit smoking.

🫁“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!

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.

🎗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
