Say hello to certified physician assistant Jamaica Reid!

Jamaica is joining FirstHealth as an inpatient palliative care provider at FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital in Pinehurst. As a palliative care provider in the hospital setting, Reid helps patients with serious, life-impacting conditions develop a plan for the best possible quality of life after they leave the hospital.

“There’s beauty in palliative care,” said Reid, a board-certified physician assistant. “I sit down with my patients and their families, and we have conversations about what’s important to them. I help them unpack what’s happening with their health, and we discuss treatment options that correspond with their personal goals and values.”

According to the LCFA: Lung Cancer Foundation of America, someone is told they have lung cancer once every 2 minutes. That's 643 people each day!

On World Lung Cancer Day and throughout the year, we are working to raise awareness about lung cancer and the importance of lung cancer screening for those who qualify. Did you know we offer a free online quiz to see if you are eligible for lung cancer screening?

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States — claiming more lives than colon, breast and prostate cancers combined. But despite its deadly toll, lung cancer remains one of the most under-discussed when it comes to regular screening.

As we mark World Lung Cancer Day tomorrow, we are shining extra light on the impact of early detection and how FirstHealth is bringing it right to the communities we serve. 🫁 🦋
