It’s Antibiotic Awareness Week! 🦠💊

Antibiotics can be lifesaving, but they aren’t always the answer. Using them only when necessary, helps you get the best care, avoid side effects, and fight antimicrobial resistance. Some infections can improve on their own, so it’s important to ask a healthcare professional for guidance and tips on feeling better while your body fights off infection.

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month, a time dedicated to spreading awareness and encouraging proactive steps toward prevention and early detection. 🫁

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in both men and women, but when detected early, it’s often more treatable. That’s why low-dose CT lung screenings are so important — they can help identify lung cancer before symptoms appear.

At East Alabama Health, we’re committed to helping our community stay healthy through access to advanced diagnostic imaging and expert care. If you’re a current or former smoker, or if you have other risk factors, talk to your provider about whether a screening is right for you.

Take charge of your health today. Learn more about low-dose lung cancer screenings at www.eastalabamahealth.org/services/diagnostic-imaging/low-dose-lung-screening.

For the past 10 years, patients-in-need in our cancer program have benefited from funding provided by the Bruce Pearl Family Foundation through the annual AUTLIVE campaign. Yesterday, Bruce and his daughter, Jacqui, who chairs his family foundation, visited the Spencer Cancer Center. Not only did they receive a tour of the facility, but Bruce visited with several patients, visitors and staff members.

Thank you, Coach, for helping bring smiles and excitement to our center and for the generous funding through AUTLIVE!
