Today at the Detroit VA, our lung cancer screening nurses hosted an important educational event focused on early detection and Veteran health. Veterans learned what lung cancer screening is, who benefits most, and how the process works from start to finish.
Our nurses spoke directly with attendees, answered common questions, and explained how they support Veterans through scheduling, testing, results, and next steps.
Thank you to everyone who joined us as we work together to raise awareness, support one another, and take meaningful steps toward better lung health.
