Wow! What an incredible Block Party and Thanksgiving Giveaway hosted by Heaven’s Kitchen last night!

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month, and did you know that Ferrell Hospital offers a low-dose CT lung cancer screening to detect cancer in its earliest, most treatable stages? This quick, painless scan uses minimal radiation and could save your life - and you don't have to travel out of town for it!

If you’re 50–80, currently smoke, or quit within the last 15 years, you may qualify - so talk to your provider. If you need a provider, find one here! https://ow.ly/4mWa50XtEWV.

A huge thank you to the Norris City Quilt Guild for their generous donation to our Ferrell Hospital Chemo Buddies program!

Each year, the guild chooses a local group to support, and we are honored they selected our Chemo Buddies this season. Their kindness helps us continue providing comfort items and support to patients undergoing treatment.

We are so grateful for this thoughtful contribution and the care behind it.
