HASTINGS — Smoking tobacco is the number one risk factor for lung cancer. But people who have never smoked can develop lung cancer, as well.
Mary Lanning Healthcare is sponsoring the Love Your Lungs educational event on Wednesday, November 18, to raise awareness of lung cancer and other lung diseases. The event takes place from 2-5 p.m. in Conference Room #1 on the Ground Floor of Mary Lanning Healthcare, 715 N. St. Joseph Avenue.
Representatives of the Hastings Pulmonary & Sleep Clinic and the Midwest Lung Cancer Screening Program will be on hand to offer information and answer questions. Also, the Mary Lanning Respiratory Therapy department will be offering free spirometry and Alpha 1 testing to help visitors gauge their risk of developing lung disease. The Mary Lanning Wellness Department will be sharing information on how to stay healthy.
Refreshments will be served.
