It's Lung Cancer Awareness Month! Last week, we talked about quitting smoking. It's the best thing you can do to help avoid lung cancer! At 5 years as a non-smoker, your risk of lung cancer is cut in half.

If you have any questions about quitting smoking, or getting screened for lung cancer, you can call or visit our website and schedule an appointment. Asking questions and taking your health into your own hands is important, and we here at NorthShore are happy to help!
